Another thing to consider is that some aftermarket pads may have better stopping force than the original ones. On a different subject the stock belt is very shitty and should be replaced other than OEM. Mine was dry rotted at 25K miles. Stock tire valve stems should be replaced as well with better ones.

sounds like an environmental problem, not a toyota problem belts and tire valves rotted ? sounds like the car has been stored near, or was or is exposed to, ozone, or other chemicals or gasses that rot rubber. could be where you store your car, where you park it, or how it was stored and shipped before purchase |
