Just did the brakes on my 1994 4runner. Discs were smooth, no rust or grooves. Way above spec, the pads must have been soft. I put in some much better quality pads and did not turn them.
Best Brake pads for Toyota 4runner
Brembo OE replacement P06 064 - 74.34 AED.
I have a 2006 4Runner with almost 350,000 miles on it. Solid as a rock. All I do is change the oil and occasionally replace the break pads.
I’ve had my Toyota 4Runner for 13 years now. Never needed to change my brakes or encountered catastrophic engine failures. Maybe lucky but per Toyota, the 4Runner is rated for 22 MPG on the highway and I’m getting 23.5 MPG.
I originally installed the powerstops in 2018 they have lasted around 93k miles.
Brake pads - $90 for parts
Akebono have always served me well. Felt slightly better than OEM IMO. I’ve also tried EBC Greenstuff’s…brake feel was just ok and they wore very quickly (less than 20k miles).
Just changed a 4Runner with 80k miles, the pads were worn flat all the way down.
