The

$63 Toyota 04465-AZ100 Toyota Genuine Parts - Fr Brake Pad (04465-AZ100)

Toyota 04465-AZ100 w/no shims are Ceramic.
ADVICS AD0976 with shims are the reported to be the same exact pads.
Shims part # 04945-0C030 should be the right one. You may double check that though.

Yes, many people have used them.
I think the later year trucks even came with ceramic from the factory.

I myself, haven’t used the OEM ceramic.
I went aftermarket. They had their own shims.

Good luck to you.

Thank you very much. What rotors do you typically use? Think I’m going with OEM.

 

Just recently changed out the old OEM pads on my rig to new OEM brake pads....you can reuse the shim (confirmed by dealer tech) if they are not compromised.
If you go with aftermarket keep the old shims.....worth $40.00 CND each set

Good Luck

 

What part number for the pads did you use?

 

The ones from Advanced Auto Parts.
So far they have been fine for 71k.

I also used their premium ceramic pads.
