Which Brake Pad and Rotor

[popalzai]

I feel vibration in front and rear while braking
if i take it to my local mechanic he will replace all 4 brake pads + rotors for 150$ i have to take my own parts....If i buy from online retailer 4genuine toyota pads and rotors cost me 550$ if i purchase wagner thermoquiet pads + wearever rotors cost me around 250$ or duralast rotors and pads cost me 330$...
I was trying to find thermoquiet rotors for 17" wheels but advanceautoparts guy told me wagner only makes it for 16" wheel..

suggest me should i save money and use after market rotors and pads or genuine for the difference of 300$..

I might have a frozen caliper as toyota dealer suggested front passeneger caliper is frozen...can this be fixed or i have to buy new one...(i feel little continous noise while driving like something is rubbing)

For my wife's 2007 Lexus RX350, I replaced the front rotors with Centrix ones from tirerack. No problems at all, I also used Akebono pads.

That shake will only come back again. Do the tundra upgrade, it's only 150 more. I got the advanced auto warranteed calipers, rotors, and I got ceramic disks. I love it, stops like a champ. Total cost was about $350.

Can you elaborate on the Tundra upgrade?

I checked advanceautoparts my mechanic recommened wagner thermoquiet..so I wanted wagner rotors with it but wagner does not make rotor for 17inch wheel(as in my 4runner) so I will have to go with combinition of Wagner thermoquiet pads and wearever rotors...Is there any problem with mixing pads and rotors?

Ogden8 would appreciate if you exactly specify what pads and rotors you bought from advance,..

Tundra upgrade is only for 3rd gens not 4th gens.

I totally apologize, I didn't pay attention to which section this was posted. I just saw the thread from hitting the "New Posts" link.
