Perfect fit for my Rav4 and easy to install. The feel immediately was good from the start and no mush in the pedal. They are as good, if not better, than the OEM pads. I can see why these are so popular because the price is also fantastic. Now that I know about these, I will be purchasing these for all my vehicles. Install them yourself as it was a piece of cake and you can change your own brakes for less than $50.

Installed them a few month ago on my rav4. No problems.

That was a very frustrating experience- after going through all questions and details about my car, the pads were too big. Of course, I only came to realize this *after I had the wheel off and brakes disassembled*. I'm sure they're a great product, but that doesn't do me any good when they don't fit. What's worse is I had to then had to purchase everything from a local auto parts store at a higher price.

Installed on my 2017 Corolla IM. Shims are provided and fit perfectly. Missing brake lubricant.

Pads came with new hardware and brake grease. Much better deal than some I have purchased from Toyota

Bought for daughter's car......I always grind the rotors even it they are new to ensure a good mating, and always check calipers and use brake grease on moving parts.Bosch included new hardware and brake grease as well (thank you Bosch). .Pads come individually wrapped. Made in Mexico, so not Chinese junk. Backing plates and surfaces look high quality. Pads, as expected, are quiet and stop very well after a short break-in.As a big bonus, friction material is GG rated. Thus, they stop perfectly.I prefer OEM always, but will use Akebono happily, and have had good luck with premium Bosch and Bendix products. I avoid anything made in China, as in my experience the quality simply is not there.I prefer made in USA or Canada or Japan, but other offshore like Taiwan or European products are fine by me. These Mexican pads are actually quite well made, and the ceramic compound works well. If OEM is unavailable, as it was in my case, then these Bosch pads or Akebono are a good second choice.......and the price at Amazon with the right seller (like this one) is fine.Highly recommended....... as ,long as you know how to install them.

Put these pads on my 2009 toyota rav4 sport v6. Perfect fit and happy with the pad so far.Will recommend these pads to anyone who is looking to save some money and still get the quality. Possibly better pad than original for double the price.If these pads last me the same lifespan as original I will continue buying them!

Ordered this part and arrived very quick. But found it was a little bit bigger and couldn't be attached to the break housing at the first time. Asked changing and sending it back with note, new product arrived right away, guessing the old one was still on the way backing to supplier. The new one was same as the first one at wrong size, just return it avoid trouble again, refund was very quick as before.Bought a set from Canadian tire and fit perfectly and almost at same price.Very good service but thinking something wrong in their part system record.

I bought these as a returned item for Amazon warehouse and have to say I’m very pleased with the product. I don’t know the story of why they were a return, but they had obvious signs of handling. Maybe from someone realizing they didn’t fit their vehicle. I don’t know.Pros: very easy to install as with any brake pad hopefully.Stopping is very smooth and responsive.Quiet just as advertised.Cons: NONE for now.

last year i took my car in to a shop to redo my brakes. normally i do myself but was short of time. unfortunately they used substandard pads with issues from day 1, squealing, grabbing, and overall poor performance. Bosch quietcast have always been my goto pads and i couldnt delay it any longer. swapped out the crappy parts (i found the time to do it myself) and am happy again. no squealing, no grabbing, just smooth, predictable, and effective braking. glad that there remains a quality product at an affordable price.

I got these and the pads for the read because I noticed my original pads were down to 2mm. These pads fit perfectly so I'll use them again. Doing the pads on a Rav4 is really easy: you just need a 14mm wrench, a pair of pliers/vice grips to remove the old pads if they are stuck, and I like to use a pad spreader to open the piston and a Quick Clam to close the "bolts". I have a lift so, all in, it took less than 1 hour to do all 4 wheels.

For 2014 RAV4, the original OEM pads caused strange noise and vibration as pushing a little harder. But it's about 0.2 inch pads remained. The small pc of leading metal is not enclosed. Just move this leading metal piece from the old pads to the new. Don't how they wear out.Pros: quiet, precise, better than the original OEM. Thick enough to greatly reduce the null gap of brake pedal.Cons: missing leading metal piece.
