DanAatTheCape Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I bought a 93 Warrior 4 years ago - picked up some MKD303 from advance auto parts at that time - $26. After I took a closer look at the pads on the camper & decided to wait. Just dug into the project (still some surface left) and found that the 1 of the 4 pads did not have the little holes for the springs) & when I contacted Advance found the pads were no longer available, Autozone could not get any. Anyway, NAPA had a set of their basic pads - part number TS-7321-M from their tampa center. I bought 2 sets of Bendix MRD303's from RockAuto - they were private label discontinued --- pretty cheap at about $7 a set. I think I got the last 2. I did see some similar Bendix sets on ebay in the $40 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Last pads I put on my 1991 were Axxis high metal content (high performance street pads not the ones that say "for racing ONLY"). These do tend to "eat" rotors faster but they stop faster and do not fade when heated (like when going down steep grades). Whether you use a standard grade replacement pad and go for long rotor and pad life or use a HD high metal content or ceramic pad and get better stopping ablility is up to you. Not sure this link will take you to the options, if not enter your vehicle into the search and you should find some other options http://www.buybrakes.com/c-87-replacement-pads.aspx Understand that high performance brake pads will cost more and will wear faster but you will not lose your braking ability when things get stressed and heated up like you will with standard pads.

Orielly's has pads for these trucks too. I like that they differentiate the dual wheel vehicles clearly so you know your getting the right one. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/WAG1/MX303/03351.oap?year=1993&make=Toyota&model=Pickup&vi=1277995&ck=Search_C0068_1277995_-1&pt=C0068&ppt=C0009 Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
