OEM Yaris brake pad kit PICS

[auxmike]

These are indeed "stock" quality pads from a Toyota dealer. I bought them because I find dealer parts prices go up, sometimes a lot, in just a couple of years. The pads won't go "bad" and they will be ready for action once the originals wear out. I don't consider it a waste of $ since they will be needed eventually, right? I've always found factory pads to be better than some of the stuff auto parts stores sell anyway.
I'll place them next to my 10 pack case of oil filters.......
Oh, and I have 4 spare lug nuts handy in the storage bin in the back of the hatch.
Sucks when you're changing a flat and lose track of lug nuts.

Good purchasing decision, auxmike. That way you have the pads on hand when you do need them, and if you sell the car you can always sell the pads--maybe even at a profit.

I'm just getting ready to do the same. Just got a price locally on pads and the dealer price is $53.75--and I made sure to mention that I bought the car there! Best on-line price I have found so far is $35.99+S/H.

I am so glad that a year or two ago Murrays had a coupon special on Formula Shell motor oil for $.50/qt. I bought 3 cases of it and am still using it. I was just in there a couple days ago and I think they wanted a couple bucks/qt give or take some pennies.
