Pads. — Toyota RAV4, 2.4 liter, 2008
Replacing the front pads for OD - 5200 (work + parts)
For unofficials - 3400 ...
And Exist counted me 340 bucks for pads with delivery in 1 week =) ) ) )
Then I began to correspond with them:
“Isn’t 11,000 rubles for pads too expensive, despite the fact that the official dealer has them with an installation of 5000? O_o
— Price per set (for 4 pcs), one pad is not sold
- I understand ... And I don’t mean the price for 1 block. In my comparison, I indicated the price for the set.
Thank you."
No response yet...
Everything was resolved more budget than I thought.
But I haven't changed pads yet. OD looked and said that you can still go to MOT. And before MOT there are some 3,500 ...

Why original? They are unreasonably expensive! I have original Toyota pads (on Matrix) also cost 2500, and I buy a non-original for 1000. The last time it cost 500 rubles to replace.
In general, the original costs 870 rubles. It’s good that friends stayed and, out of the kindness of their hearts, helped to save money ... =)
Yes I know. I agree with the arguments. But there is a fad - only the original. And besides, the car is under warranty — so be it.
Well, that's not the argument. I'm not saying buy Chinese pads. The original has nothing supernatural. As a rule, pads are supplied to the factory assembly line by a third-party company, but since they do it officially, they are packed in original boxes with a Toyota nameplate, and for verification they turn out to be the same Kashiyama, which is sold one and a half times cheaper. For 2500 you can buy ceramic pads, the service life of which is several times longer. The money is the same, but the quality is better and you pay several times less often for replacement work!

In general, I am an opponent of non-original, so I have a Toyota, not a cherry tiggo =)
I once experimented too ... I put back non-original pads ... but they turned out to be thicker than the originals ... they got up perfectly, but they pressed the disk ... I realized that something was wrong when the smoke poured out of there (I immediately went out of the service to the track and drowned ... as a result, a column of smoke, a stench, the brake disc became red hot, the wheel rims were black ... after 2-3 days everything "got used" and became normal =)
On that they agreed. Everyone chooses for himself.
In principle, it gives me pleasure to choose what will be best for the car. Read the forum on this topic, and in the end also save money. True, there is porn for an old woman ... I listened to a friend - I bought Mintex pads that were not original, but they did not fit me in the size of the ears, although it breaks through exist as a complete analogue.
well, not a couple ... but only a thousand ... and taking into account the fact that the wife of the pads, it seems, changes for the first time, and I now change them much less than before, and change them every 8 months - not so catastrophic, I agree ?
Therefore, do not bother and take the original ... =)
and about non-originals - I completely agree, there are good alternatives ... but I don’t mess with brakes ... put shock absorbers - you can ... stabilizer bushings - I think, too ... but with a price difference of only 1000 - I don’t consider it necessary to save on brakes ... if there was a difference of 5-7 thousand - I would have thought, and so - the original! =)
By the word non-original, I don't mean Chinese shit. When you choose exist, you see who the manufacturer is, and if you're not too lazy, you can check with a search engine how good it is. As I already wrote, a product of a company that supplies pads to the assembly line can also be considered non-original, but they come in the packaging of this company, and not with the emblems of the automaker.
Yes, there are pads that are softer, but on the contrary, there are harder pads. As a rule, there are many reviews on auto forums for leading manufacturers and you can choose the best option. Although, if you don’t want to fool yourself and extra couples - three thousand don’t play a role in the family budget, then of course it’s better to take the original.
I put non-original ones on my monterik for 1200 - as a result, they lived with me for less than 10 thousand ... the original ones live at least 20 thousand ... therefore, a dubious benefit is obtained!
In addition, no one knows the origin of non-original pads ... what material is used is unknown ... at a previous job, a person put non-original pads on Nissan Maxima ... it turned out that the material on the pads is "somewhat" harder than it should be ... result: after 5 thousand pads like new, but it is necessary to replace the brake disc ... again: did you manage to save money?
Well, in the end — it's BRAKES! I can put anything that is not original on the car EXCEPT for the brakes and timing belt! I just don’t think it’s logical to save on what can save a life, a car or a full wallet =)
Why original? They are unreasonably expensive! I have original Toyota pads (on Matrix) also cost 2500, and I buy a non-original for 1000. The last time it cost 500 rubles to replace.
even though I found fault with Auto-Reef at the prices of work, they still get it cheaper than the official ones …
original pads — 2500
work — 900 rubles.

Now I’m thinking about something to put in Toyota ...
Refrigerator and dry closet! :)
Yes, I know all that. But I am of the following opinion:
My car is under warranty, so it has what is installed on it - and I don’t care if it’s called the original and what Toyota Motor gives me a guarantee for. Plus, I have CASCO, which also guarantees the replacement of all parts for an insured event only if they were installed on the car at the time of purchase and conclusion of the contract. Therefore, for example, replacing the radiator grille with a more attractive one is not yet designed for me, because if something happens, they will change mine either under a guarantee or under an insurance contract. And put a new one and make changes or additions to the contract. equipment — I don’t feel like it at all…
I’ve understood about exist for a long time, but every time I’m interested in it. Entertainment, or something ... Added correspondence to this post.
rave. do not confuse warm with soft. there is no concept of "original" or not original. boxes with inscriptions (and everything that is in them), in your case, Toyota is not made at the toyota factory, but at a trusted enterprise.
for example, bearings for nissan are produced by NGK and by buying a bearing with the inscription NGK, and not Nissan, I save money, but I have the same thing.
so forget all that word "original". it was the sellers who came up with it. "chik" and forgot. all.)
exist… not the cheapest store for a long time. there are cheaper...
