Need to replace front brake pads on 2004 Camry 4 cyl. I looked at suppliers
and was amazed at variety and costs. Some approach $100 per set.
What pads do you readers recommend?
Thank you,
Seamus J. Wilson

Well, I guess I'm going to have to leave this list now. Took the ol' 99
Camry in to the dealer with every intent of driving out with a new 2010
model and ended up pulling off the lot in a 2010 RAV4!

Doesn't look like there is a newsgroup for RAV4 owners, so I may have to see
what is in the alt.autos.Toyota group for a while.

Loved all 3 of my Camry's, and my Corollas before that, so I'm sure the
RAV4 will be wonderful as well!

I just checked at NapaOnline and found only one set of pads for that car
that
was in the $100 range. Their ultrapremium range was in the order of $45.
IMO Napa has a generally high quality line of products.

I have even bought pads from Autozone, and if you buy the high quality pads
they work out just fine.

My recommendation would be to go to Napa, or your favorite FLAPS, and
talk to the counter people about it. Go with a high line pad and I dont
think
you will go wrong.

I'd get the OE pads from the Toyota dealer. Front pads from online Toyota
parts dealers are around $50.94. Rear pads are another $42.39. Take a look
at: http://www.toyotapartscheap.com/.

Akebono ProAct ceramics. Toyota supposedly used a cheaper version (EE-
friction rated) of the Akebono pads.

If you want better performance, use Hawk Performance HPS carbon
metallic pads. Some say they are quiet, others say they may squeal a
bit. So break these in according to directions.

Both should be about $50-60 per set online.
