    Need to replace all 4 of my brake pads. Going to be hauling a trailer this summer about 2k-3k miles total. Other than that normal driving, 152k miles on the car. Should I get some OEM pads for $50 on Ebay, or can I get better for less? Not looking to spend a lot but I want good stuff. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Have you gotten your brakes inspected? To know whether all 4 need to be replaced?

    OEM is best but I was thinking they were close to $90 now.

    Does "all four" mean 4 pads (fronts only), or 4 wheels? And rears are (drum brake) "shoes".

    I would just get Toyota pads through dealership parts dept.
