I have 09 Tacoma.  Their OEM pads are great for stopping power, but they leave a dark residue on the wheel cover.  Any of you gentlemen have any suggs?

I typically get 4o,000 plus out of a set of OEM pads.  Like I said, they stop good, and they're easy on the rotors. 

Thanks in advance.

For aftermarket I would go with Raybestos or Wagner. If you have an Advance store, try a set of CARQUEST Platinum. Make sure your rear brakes are good, may be overworking your fronts or those OE pads are just extremely dusty.

Hello friend, the dark residue you're seeing is likely brake dust. Brake dust is produced as the brake pads wear down. High-performance or metallic brake pads often generate more brake dust due to their material composition.

Regular cleaning of your wheels is generally enough to maintain them. However, if brake dust is a significant issue for you, you might want to consider using ceramic brake pads. Ceramic brake pads produce lighter-colored dust that is less visible, and they generally create less dust compared to metallic or semi-metallic brake pads.

Hope my answer will help you!

      sport brake pads for rear ok?
      By LEarn492
      Hi i have a 2006 g35x that i just got. i put sport pads in the front becuase i used them on my old car and loved the extra power that they gave me. i need new rear pads too, my question is will putting sport pads in the rear mess up my car's handling or braking? like it won't mess with the brake bias, the system that alters brake pressure to each wheel, make my car more likely to fishtail or anything like that when i hit the brakes in a corner right? it'll just give me more stopping power? i'm thinking this as all the companies sell sport pads for rear too. anyone here done this before? any tips? thanks.

      Is this truck worth anything?
      By Jake
      Hey guys, new to the forum here. I'm trying to get some advice on a truck I just purchased. It's a 1977 Dodge D100 5.9 360 2wd single cab longbox.73,000 original km. Trying to decide if a truck like this is worth a full restoration? Are these a desired truck? Do people ever restore them? Or are these a dime a dozen sort of deal? Not very familiar with classics and there values. I am a light duty auto mechanic and shouldnt have many problems doing the job. I just want to make sure it's worth the time and money. Any advice would be appreciated!

      2000 Toyota Tundra Control Arms ???
      By dwil4
      I need to replace the upper and lower control arms but OEM is out of mynprice range so just looking for advice/opinions on other good brands.  I think it is well known now that Moog isn't the quality that it was a few years ago as most of their stuff is made in China. Please shoot me some experiences you have had with brands.
