+ another for RockAuto.

But brakes aren't something that I'd want to go the cheap route on. You can probably find other things to cut corners on because, in my mind, I'd want the best brakes that I could afford!

roters

I bought a cheap set of front rotors off ebay in August as they were only a couple bucks more than having the old ones turned. They fit fine and the car stopped well, but after 20K miles they are warped very badly. I still have the old roters that I'm going to have turned today. I guess I got what I paid for........

Wagner Premium Rotors are only about $70 bucks each and mine currently have 35,000 on them and are still going strong

+1 on Nunan

I recently bought a front caliper from them. Good price, fast ship, No hassle, OEM part, and they handled the core charge too. Highly recommended!

I have not financial interest...... YMMV

If you get your parts from a source OTHER then a Toyota dealer, you're not getting OE Pads or Rotors. Quick and simple.

You can go online to a dealers webiste and order parts, you can call them and order parts or you can go to your local dealer. Keep in mind brake parts are NOT light so shipping will not be cheap. You might end up saving money by coupon clipping your local dealer's ad in the paper and buying from them instead of paying for shipping on the backside of a discounted part from a dealer a long way away. Heck, I'd give you 25% off the parts but shipping would quickly eat that up.
