DrivingTheDream Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I guess this could maybe be in Wanted but I dunno... Where have you guys bought your pads from and what prices? I'm after front and rears for a J-Spec. Can Toyota supply them? I think I fancy upgrading them to something else maybe green/red stuff? Cheers Oh and I done a search and nothing really decent came up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Do you have a TT or NA? EBC pads are generally a no no! I have CW pads myself but all the traders here will (should!) recommend good pads e.g Project Mu/Endless and hopefully tried and tested!

Digsy Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Theres no difference between NA and TT Toyota pads. The only difference is whether you have the opposed pot (4 fronts, 2 rears) "UK spec" with 17" or bigger wheels or the sliding caliper "J-spec" brakes. What are generally called "UK spec" brakes were actually also an option on J-spec cars. Anyway, Toyota can supply either sort, but as mentioned above there are lots of other options.

Homer Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 EBC pads are generally a no no! ^ Yeah that ^ Had green stuffs on mine, absolutely horrific, binned them after 1k miles. I've been using Chris wilson fast road pads since (20k miles on current set) and have been very impressed with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I mentioned if his car is a TT or NA as if it's a TT he may want to look at UK spec brakes as it will be more worthwile on a TT. J spec brakes work well with stock discs, good fast road pads, braided hoses and good fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 TRD brake pads in stock here. These are great for fast road use and give good 'bite' with no fade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
