I had Toyota brake pads installed last year, and Toyota brake rotors machined. However, on Monday during maintenace service I was taken to the garage and shown that I had cracks in left brake pads (didn't see the right ones). This is the second time this has happened, and the Toyota guys belive its my driving style, which I would say is heavy on the braking when coming to a stop, I never ride the brakes, or drag from light to light. I'm guessing heat related? Also I have a worn wheel bearing on the left side, and needs replacement along with a hub and seal. Anyone belive this might be an issue with the cracked pads? Also any suggestions for high quality brake pads?

Yah, it should be almost impossible to hurt a good pad on the street. Our Touring cars are 2700lbs and they're really not even that hard on brakes at Road America where there are a couple 140mph+ braking zones. I would just suggest some good pads:
Hawk Pagid Carbotech etc. |
