Hi,

I just went from being a Honda owner to a Toyota owner.

As a Honda owner, I had a really nice and convenient place to get OEM Honda parts online for really good prices.

www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

Does anyone know a similar place for Toyotas?

www.1sttoyotaparts.com is my favorite

I've always gone with www.trdparts4u.com because of the great prices and service. When you email Barb or Chris, be sure you tell them you were referred to them by a friend on the TTORA board.

Well since you asked, I need to replace the front brakesand and an O2 sensor, so:

2 front rotors
2 sets of front pads
2nd O2 sensor
passenger side mirror

i don't think any of those constitute as engine parts.

Oops, sorry you're right, I just ran with the thread and posted.

Forget the OEM rotors, they tend to warp really easy, most can attest to that. Upgrage to Brembo rotors and use Performance Friction pads from Auto Zone. Many have used the combo and have had nothing but praise. I'll be doing that my next brake job.

Thanks.

I'll go with this.
That way I can get the parts I need and do that work myself.

Difficulty rating?

Tips before I get started?

Thanks for all the great tips.

I just got back from AutoZone.

I got:

1) 2 front rotors (2 yr warranty)
2) a complete set of pads (lifetime warranty)
3) anti-squeak grease
4) c-clamp

All for $56.66.

I thought it would be hard to beat that.

Will I need anything else to change the front brakes on my 95 Pickup?
