I rang Toyota the other day and asked about brake pad fitment. At the moment you can get a pair of new front pads supply and fit for $99! This is at CMI Toyota Adelaide.

Besides bragging about a good deal, I have a question, does new pads improve brake performance at all? Even a bit?

You might find that the disks may have to be re-machined. New pads initially will start with a slight soft pedal and will have to bed in before optimum performance. This should improve....have your brake fluid flushed also.

Last time I did my 2001 Camry V6 it cost me $29 for a set of pads from Supercheap and 30 minutes to change. No rotor machining required..That was 13/11/2005 and 12000ks ago and hardly a sign of wear...Just about due for a fluid change...BTW still on the original rear pads after 97000ks..
