Mahleek,

When it comes to pads, shims, & fit kits I go Toyota. But for everything else brake related I've been pretty lucky with aftermarket (who can afford Toyota?). On average I replace calipers once every 3 or 4 sets of pads (unless I find something wrong sooner). Irregular wearing brake pads is an indication of binding slider pins. These can be disassembled & lubed, but I usually just replace with new aftermarket calipers. www.RockAuto.com is where I go. Just drill into their database using the prompts (year, make, model, etc) to direct you to the correct parts. Just be sure to apply a thin coat of antiseize compound or silicone paste to the pins upon assembly & make sure the protective boots over the pins are installed correctly. Good luck & have fun . Tim
