Can y'all suggest a good brake pad?Also, if it is simply a case of excessive thickness variation of the rotors from excessive pad material transfer, it will go away on its own after the high spots wear down. This is assuming that the brakes do not continually overheat. I would suspect that the pads have insufficient heat range for this vehicle.
Incorrect. Toyota does not force any one to do it on the vehicle. They recommend it, but not force it. We still use a brake lathe.

I rebedded the brakes. It took away about 30% of the shimmy. Now when I'm coming to a stop I feel the brakes grab/let go/grab/let go/grab/let go. I didn't feel that before. Any new guesses?After reading tons of brake websites & threads I've decided tomorrow morning I'll try re-bedding the brakes. I'll post back with results.
I realize when I initially installed the pads & rotors (~10K miles ago) I didn't bed them in near as good as I should have and after I did I came to a complete stop which is a big no-no while the rotors are super hot.
Question:
If it was, & still is, doing this due to brake pad material stuck to the rotors (which is why after rebedding I got the 30% improvement, right?), would putting on a set of PowerStop pads & bedding them in properly get the rest of the pad material off the rotors (assuming there's more pad material stuck to rotors)?
