Default Trd brake pads beware!!!!

Bought TRD pads last friday, installed them, followed the break in-prcedure, even had my rotors machined. They now make a scoring noise when i apply the breaks. I contacted TRD 7 times today to figure out what was going on, they finally came to the conclusion that they have been putting the wrong instructions in the box. I ruined the pads and rotors because TRD instructions said to do a series of 10 stops from 60 miles per hour to 5-10 miles per hour at 0.8g's without completely stopping (right before abs intervention), well it was only supposed to be 5 stops, now i'm just waiting on a call from TRD, they said they are going to replace the rotors and pads because it was there fault. FYI

I agree, I wish there was a like button for this. Just because it says TRD doesn't mean its the best. Ever since Toyota/Scion started using companies such as OBX and TYC as OEM "upgrades" I've lost faith in their product, unless it's JDM or performance proven.
