2011 LC200 - Stock
Hi all,
Could use your folks opinion and help here. 2011 LC, with the shutdown started to do a little more of the maintenance myself, within my abilities. As a result have noticed some things that clearly were not being done correctly (e.g. skid plate was rusted shut, had a couple sheared bolts, so not sure oil filter was being changed). I was rotating the tires and noticed that the front break pads appear larger than the rear. Adding two picks. Given what I learned on the oil filter, this has my guard up. Do not have the spec book on the LC. Sharing two picks. Larger break pad is from the front, smaller break pad is off the rear. Noticed because of the wear line around the rear rotor was smaller than the front. Is this spec? Should the rear be smaller than the front due to weight or something else? The breaks were changed in the rear 1.5 years ago. currently at 90k miles. I am thinking of upgrading the lines and and brakes. I have read tundra breaks are a good upgrade. Really appreciate any insight here, as to whether the appropriately size pads were installed on the rear. Thanks!
