Toyota Prius & Echo Front Ceramic Brake Pad Set

Genuine Toyota front ceramic brake pad set for the 2001-2009 Prius and 2001-2005 Echo. Ceramic friction material runs cleaner and quieter than semi-metallic - much less black dust on the wheels - while keeping the cold-bite and pedal feel these cars were engineered around, which matters on a hybrid where the friction brakes blend with regeneration. This is the factory pad set, not an aftermarket equivalent: friction coefficient, backing plate thickness and chamfer geometry match Toyota's specification, so the pads seat properly in the caliper bracket and wear evenly across the rotor. The current Toyota number is 04465-AZ222, which replaces the earlier 04465-AZ122 - both refer to this same pad set. Included in this listing: one (1) Genuine Toyota front brake pad set 04465-AZ222 - enough for both front wheels - new in original Toyota packaging. Check rotor thickness and runout before fitting and bed the pads in per Toyota's procedure.
