It's time for a rear break job on the 84 4runner. My question is, I hate buying brake stuff that is cheap/crap, so what is recommended for drums and shoes? I hate squeaky/squealy breaks? What's recommended out there or your experiences with these items?

 

the most $money for brakes the cheap one make the rim go black ....

 

that didn't make a lot of sense. Where should I get a good brake setup. I don't mind spending money on a good setup.

 

at the auto parts store .....

 

like napa? Their stuff is usually not the best quality

 

O'reilly or advance auto parts......

 

Will these two places will offer better quality items?

 

I get most of my stuff at Advanced Auto.

 

they are the same parts

 

They typically have better prices and will usually have different types of brakes. Drums and rotors I think will be just 1 pick, I can't remember.

 

I'm confused cause you said to not get cheap ones, are you not referring to the stuff they have at autoparts etc... or will they have a better quality setup also? I just don't wanna buy this stuff and have it be crap and squeal and Sh**.

 

take it to BrakeMasters (or similar) and tell them you want the Best they offer. Have your check book ready. . . And They will be happy to take your money. : )

 

I have purchased ceramic bakes for my LS front, rear, front rotors and they don't give me an issue from Advanced Auto. They will have what you want call them and ask. I'm sure most places will have 1 kind of rotor/drum maybe 2. But they should have metallic, semi-metallic, possibly ceramic for the truck. We have no idea where you are from so we don't know what's around.

your area for auto part stores and start calling...

 

looks like I only have autozone (never been there, not sure if they offer that stuff), napa and schucks (never been there either, not sure again).

 

Any of these auto PARTS Stores offer brake parts. Go talk to them!!

 

I read on here that rear shoes/drums from the dealer are best. The point was that they last the longest. I have dealer shoes and have not have a problem. I can almost stop with just the e brake If I were you, wanted the good stuff, I'd get the Toyota shoes/drums for this. You'll have second thoughts if you go to the auto parts store.

 

this dude is not a great auto person

 

I'll trade him an Authentic English Foot ball jersey for his rig...think he'll take it?

 

Are you referring to me?

 

if he is dumb ya
