Some is available in the service specification section of your owner's manual - 1 mm for pads and shoes.

If you don't have it here's a link to the PDF of that chapter: https://www.toyota.com/t3Portal/document/om/OM12671U/pdf/8-1.pdf (see p 195 / p3 of the PDF).

What it doesn't appear to have is wear limit on rotors and drums. I'd have to look at my factory service manual when I'm back home but chances are others will beat me to it and post here before I get that far :)

Search on ‪rockauto.com‬. Pick a few different rotors and drums and click on info to see if the particular item has a spec table.

I usually just buy new rotors/drums instead of resurface them, but some members like the original factory stuff and will resurface them (if still thick enough).

There are coated rotors/drums for better rust resistance. Look for the heart symbol (popular item) on rockauto to see what people are buying.
So take your pick. Google up a 5% discount code too.

Drum, Max diameter 201 mm or 7.91"

Rotor, Min thickness 0.79" or 0.787"
