    And no warning lights?

    After a test drive, apply/release the parking brake a few times, then raise the rear and check that the wheels spin fairly freely, go a revolution or two after you let go. Always a good check.

    Did you replace them because you had to or because you wanted? Also how many miles you have on the car?

    Regardless of pad thickness remaining, you should be getting in every 3 years or 30K miles (Toyota US recommendation), just to clean them up and relube. You done good.

    Save them for a decade, before chucking them out, then you'll feel better. No kidding, that what I do, lol.
