Description

Give Your Brakes a Hug: RDA Pads to the Rescue!
> Your brake pads are like the unsung heroes of your daily drive, tirelessly grinding away to bring your car to a stop. But, just like us after a long day, they wear out! Especially if you're zipping around in a Corolla or hauling gear in a Hiace. When pads get thin, your stopping power drops, and trust me, that's not a good look on our NZ roads.
The Tell-Tale Signs You're Gutted
• Hear any squealing or grinding when you hit the anchors?
• Taking longer to stop than you used to?
• Feeling a judder through the steering wheel or brake pedal?
• Your brake pedal feels a bit squishy, like a half-eaten scone?
• Can you actually see your pads are thin (less than 3mm of friction material left)?
Will it pass WOF?
Nah, mate. Worn brake pads are a big no-no for your Warrant of Fitness. The legal minimum thickness for brake pad friction material here in Aotearoa is generally 1.5mm, but honestly, you want to get them sorted well before that for peace of mind and proper stopping power.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 5/10 (Moderate)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wheel nut wrench, C-clamp or brake caliper piston compressor, spanner set, torque wrench, wire brush, brake cleaner, and potentially a brake caliper guide pin grease.
Expert Recommendation
Bob @ CARFIX always reckons you should sort out your brake pads at the first sniff of trouble to keep your stopping power tip-top and keep you safe on our Kiwi roads. Knackered pads don't just mess with your braking; they can chew up your brake rotors too, which means a bigger bill down the track. These RDA brake pads are a solid choice for reliable performance and durability, perfect for the wide range of Toyota vehicles they fit. Bob @ CARFIX is always on hand to help you work out exactly what part you need for your Toyota. Make sure you head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!
Fitment Notes
These brake pads are designed for a wide array of popular Toyota models, including the CORONA PREMIO, ALTIS, COROLLA, ECHO VERSO, FUNCARGO, HIACE, REGIUS ACE, BELTA, PLATZ, VIOS, VITZ, YARIS, IST VVTi, VISTA, CROWN, COROLLA FIELDER, GRANVIA, and HIACE REGIUS. Always double-check the specific year and sub-model to ensure correct fitment, as variations can occur even within the same model range.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
