This might not be a popular opinion, but I've never had any problems with my OEM pads or rotors. Truck had the original OEM pads and rotors on it when I bought it, when those wore out I put Raybestos ones on and I was definitely not impressed with their performance. I switched back to OEM and have been happy ever since.
Reviews of spare parts for Toyota
“Aisin and Advics” are OEM Toyota Manufacturers so you can get a caliper that says that and still have OEM quality.
I run Akebono pads on my Lexus/Toyota cars. They are ceramic, so there may be less bite than a semi-metallic pad, but they are very low dust and last long.
Bosch rotors with akebono pads. Works great on my 2nd gen. Seen this pair on the tundra forum raved about. The pads especially. I daily my truck and don't notice brake noises. Live in the rust belt and had to beat the pads out of the calipers when I did it..
I got Powerstop for my 2015 Sequoia and absolutely love them. Can’t recommend them enough.
If you could find a TYC brand headlight I vouch for TYC goodness, bought a pair on Amazon $70/each for 2006 Tacoma (goodbye yellow lens from aging!)
I just bought a new Rav 4 and paid $4500 for the protection package, tinting and dash cam. The BlackVue 800 Gold, front and rear cameras, fitted by Pacific Toyota in Cairns was $1500.
I noticed similar results with kyb excel g on my sienna.
A regional tire store / repair center "recommend" spark plugs on my Sienna at 92K for $850 (intake manifold has to come off to get at 3 of the plugs). I asked them what benefit would there be in replacing spark plugs at 92K considering Toyota sets the spark plug replacement at 120K.
I think this is what has happened to a 91 Soarer I rescued from a field. Sounded WEIRD trying to start. Went to check plug leads and thats where I saw the chewed up and snapped timing belt.
