Hey fellas

I was thinking of upgrading my brake pads but availability here is quite limited
so far all ive managed to get access to is the EBC greenstuff V4 but I seem to be getting mixed responses on these most ppl saying they are not as good as they claim them to be
any other options that are readily available in the oceania region ? TRD ??

also does the Australia spec SX and ZR share the same type of brake pad or are they different ? reason im asking this is because ive been given two model numbers for the US spec celica GTS and GT which both have 10.8" rotors on the front and the GTS has rear discs but the GT has drums and they both use different pads on the front

any ideas ??

Thanx!

the cars in aust. (sx and zr ) are the exact same car. only the features separate them. the only reason why us have diff part no's is because the gts is a higher performance than the gt. diff engines. about which brake pads to choose i cant help u on that man.

I'm considering changing my brake pads when they get worn out I'm probably going to choose from the Endless Japanese brand range. Just had my 30,000km service today and I've got 8mm left on the front and rear pads.

From reading comments on the EBC green stuff on other forums, they don't seem to be that bad. But some people reckon you can get a better performing pad for a cheaper price.

The endless brake pad NA-M, NA-S and NA-Y cost around 200-400 dollars for 2pads

I think it's worth on getting those :)
