Brake Pads
My pads wore out at less than 25k and I'm looking for new ones. Any recommendations on longer lasting brake pads as opposed to the stock Lexus ones?

not sure i'll check later i left the box at my friends house because were we doing it over there. i'll get back to you a soon as possible. i just bought them from o'rielys for 32.99 whats so funny is that my friend bought the same brake pads at autozone for 50 some odd dollars.

there are many factors for pads to last long.
-if you brake hard.
-city than highway driving.
-size of the rims.
it all depends on how you drive as well. my factory pads lasted 33k but i know i could of went longer.
and one tip:
always resurface rotors if you feel imperfection (any slight ridges) because if you dont car will shake and pads will warp basically wear out faster.
