Dnk Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Toyota brake pads work just fine If not done recently i'd do a fluid change and a thorough inspection of the calipers when you have the pads out. Check the outer seals for splits or holes as this will let moister and dirt get down the side of the piston and cause them to seize. Check the pistons move in and out freely Spray tin brake cleaner (Halfords) and a tooth brush (Boots) work wonders to shift all the brake dust etc Edited May 4, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just fitted some CW pads; second set I've had and both work fantastically. Seem to produce an average level of dust, but doesn't take 2 mins to wipe the wheel down. Doubt you will get anything better or equal with less dust.
