Default LOL! - "high performance" brakes for TCH

Uhh...

With regenerative braking (and reasonable driving) the brakes on the TCH should last the live of the car. So I don't quite understand the marketing of this!

1) No need to replace what won't wear out
2) The TCH is hardly a "performance" car where you would need "better" brakes!

The high performance brakes may be fine if your using the car as a police car.

I don't think I have ever paid over $25 to $35 for pads and installed them myself using the original rotors.

My 1994 Corolla brakes lasted to 105,000 miles when I replace them. It had 189,000 miles when I sold it. I also drove it easy to get top gas mileage.

No way on a TCH. I could have used on my Tundra though -- before I traded it.
