Need Suggestion about the shoe and rum - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

stanleyeye · 03-01-2007, 02:36 PM

My car is 1998 Camry LE with 110k miles. Sorry, I am not sure which Gen it is.
I am planning to replace the front pads and rotors, and rear shoes and drums. I have already searched the forum and found some suggestion about the pads and rotors, such as Plain Brembo rotor + axxis ceramic pads, but I did see anything about the shoe and drum. What kind of shoes and drums I should choose, and which brand is better?

Thanks a lot for your help
Stanley

1997-1999 is Gen 4, 2000-2001 Gen 4.5

I personally stick with Toyota genuine parts, they got you this far.

TRD parts all the way!!!!!!!!!! but brembo is top notch if you can afford it...

Stan, IMO i have worked on lots of drum brakes. The front brakes do more than half the braking and this means the drums are not as significant. If this were my car, im thinking it doesnt matter a whole lot what you buy, so i'd get the cheapest.
Differences between brands are marginal i have found, is one drum really $X better? Drums are cast iron as a rule, if you can find any difference between brands, i'd like to read it.
