    Poor brake performance from Centric PQ Pro brake pads

    I am open to other choices, but unfortunately I couldn't find a better price when i inquire about pad prices from the local Toyota dealer and Napa Canada store. Both front and rear sets came out to be higher than what I can get from Rockauto shipped to Canada with shipping included. For example...

    Poor brake performance from Centric PQ Pro brake pads

    I did. 3 gentle brakes from like 30mph to 5, then 5 threshold braking from 60+mph to 5 without engaging ABS, then drive for at least 5 mins without coming to a complete stop. After starting this thread, i did this whole procedure again. I did feel the brakes got better recently, but this is...

    Poor brake performance from Centric PQ Pro brake pads

    Thank you for all replies above! For Akebono, the pad listed on Rockauto is the ASP1222A for the Performance line. They are made in the USA per the website. Great point on semi-metallic. I have no issues with more brake dust if there is better stopping power. For my car (2014 Camry V6, there...

    "Paper" ATF filter - do I really need to get it changed?

    This is a picture of the filter i found from Raybestos's website. I can confirm this is not a metal mesh strainer type filter, which is my main source of worry. If it indeed as paper/felt, that stuff can breakdown over time and clog sensitive passages. Trans itself seems to be shifting fine for now.

    "Paper" ATF filter - do I really need to get it changed?

    Hello BITOG, I have been a long time lurker but finally decided to register. I have a question regarding servicing the transmission filter, specifically the "paper/felt" material filter module inside the pan of a Toyota-Aisin U660 6 speed transmission on a 2014 Toyota Camry V6. This is commonly...

    Tire Recommendation for ES350 Grocery Getter

    I have great experience with Pirelli P7 AS 2+ (a new version, the P7 AS 3+, has come out since i bought the tires), the ride is smooth and more importantly, tread noise is quite low. You can also look at alternatives like General Altimax RT 45, or if your budget allows, top-shelve choices like...
