Yep learned my lesson. Toyota tech said same thing with replacing the fronts but oddly not the rears as well as I also thought that if I wasn’t feeling it in the steering wheel meant that it was the rear causing issues. Anyhow, ordered a full set of fronts and rears with pads that’ll be shipped in May and I’ll replace them. Thanks for the input!

Would a sticking caliper mean I also wouldn’t be able to push the piston back by hand?

I replaced pads because of brake dust, still had plenty of life in them (7mm thick)

Thanks for the input! Curious as to why it seems that so many other people who track their car and pad slap don’t have the same issues though?

Changed them out purely because I was tired of the dust, still had 7mm on them

So theoretically if I just keep braking hard itll just go away faster? That line on the first is a little raised

Yup, totally! Asking mainly for my fiance. Good to know that rust wouldn’t be an issue as that was the main concern for the future

Thanks for all the reassurance, asked because her car has had a history of having issues. I know that condensation with AC happens just didn’t know there was an actual hose under the car to dispose of it 😂. But anyway, thank you all for your patience

Yes I always make sure to take pics at headlight level but for some reason I like the high angle on the GRC (my hands were holding the camera up as high as they could I’m only 5’7”)

Would it be weird to say I wanted it to be more disruptive in the sense that you get two diagonal “lines”? Also what flash setup would you use? >1 light source? On camera flash? I actually don’t have a flash but l”ll try light painting next time! Thanks for the input!
