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?

I would just suggest some good pads:

Hawk
Pagid
Carbotech

I concur with Speed.

I ordered a set of front pads from a Hawk retailer (the name escapes me), and even spoke with the guy on the phone at length about the compound, but when the pads arrived they weren't even close to fitting. Way to small. Keep that in mind if you go with Hawk. FWIW, I haven't heard anything bad about their pads, though I have no experience with them myself. Was more bummed that I wouldn't get to run them than anything else.
