EBC BRAKES/ Thoughts?

Your very welcome!
I almost went with Sparks but wanted to get them fast so went semi local.
Had to call around to find a dealership that had them in stock, the right OEM parts, at a reasonable price.
These pads were not really reasonable, but for Factory quality I don't mind paying a bit more.

I have had to many brake issues on vehicles over the years using cheap ass knock off junk from random auto parts stores and supposedly higher quality "performance" parts.
Nowadays I avoid aftermarket for certain maintenance items like I mentioned previously.
Just not worth the hassle and I like the peace of mind.

The dealer did not give me anything last time, this was my first front brake replacement and they said they use these $70 pads.
I told the parts guy I want exactly what comes on the truck from the Toyota Factory.
He said oh ok, then you want this other one that is $120 a set.

Not sure about the 18-21 models different part numbers, news to me.
My truck is a 2014 and they looked up parts by my VIN.

 

Just over 55,000 mi on my stock front and rear pads and rotors.Ill be doing brakes in the spring.Be close to 60k on the stock pads and rotors

 

44k on the clock and I’m ready to ditch the OEM stuff.

 

Bout to change pads from oem to ebc yellows. Heard you need the shims that usually dont come with the brake kits. Has anybody have issues with noise cause of the missing shims or know how to get a replacement shims?

 

Front pads are the ones that get shorted. The box will likely come with four shims. You need eight. Just email EBC Brakes in USA from their website and they'll send the other four. Mention that your truck is a Tundra with 4 piston calipers.

Checking my email, this is what I used: sales@ebcbrakesusa.com

 

Thank you sir.
