Doug, as a product liability attorney who has successfully litigated cases against Toyota, VW and others, I can tell you that your concerns are misplaced. The test for imposing liability is not 'what all the other mfrs. are using at the time'(in fact this is a common ploy used by mfrs. in their...
Parts supplier highly rec'ds these for 93 80. Toyota apparently uses them as OEM on some of its models now. Price seems right @ $50 a pair for front pads including shims. What's the harm?

FWIW, I have a 93 LC with TRD SC that I use to tow a 5,000 lb enclosed Featherlite trailer and classic car and have had no trouble with overheating with stock thermo. Needle remains horizontal even in summer towing up grade.

My Problem: over past 3 months, starter has not engaged on at least 4 separate occasions. Key is...
