The Worst Brakes In the World
DO NOT EVER BUY EBC BRAND BRAKE PADS!!!!!
I bought some from Pep Boys 3 months ago, and have had nothing but trouble with them. My last pads (TRD) never dusted and lasted about 2-3 years. These ones dust so damn much it is not even funny. I would wash my wheels, then in the same day, they'll be covered with brake dust. EBC pads are not cheap(around 60-70bucks) and are supposed to be high performance pads. My brakes have been squealing for the last month, so I bought new pads today. I thought they squealed because they were poor pads, but when i took them off they were worn down to the sensors. They lasted not even 5000 miles, and no I don't have sticky calipers ( all the pads were worn evenly). These are the WORST pads Ever. Do not buy these. I replaced them with Akebono Pads. These are top of the line pads and are supposed to OE for Toyota. The new pads work well, and I also got a hardware kit too. Hopefully I won't have to worry about my front brakes for at least 2-3 years. My fingers are crossed.

This should be in the product review section. This is also why I check here before buying any performance equipment for my truck. Sorry for your bad luck.
