Default Question about brake pads...Celica vs tC.

BRYAN, I'M SURE YOU HAVE THE ANSWER SO CHIME IN!

I have an Endless big brakes kit that I bought used from somebody & I wasn't told that the brake pads are HEAVILY worn. I drove the car twice & now it sounds like metal on metal grinding. I'm stupid for not checking the pads when I originally had them installed but the seller & myself just dropped the cars off at a shop & got a bite to eat while they were swapping them out.

I'm pretty sure the Endless kit isn't made for the tC but you can buy the Celica kit & it'll fit just fine. Now, my question is....to get the pads does it make a difference if I get the GT or GTS pads? & is it the 2000-20005 gen?

I'm stressing hard because I have a photoshoot thats about an hour away tomorrow morning at 8am & I HAVE TO get these today or I won't make it - they're THAT worn. Now, I'll be lucky if I find a shop that has them in stock.

The 2000-05 Celica and tC share the same stock brakes, the same goes for big brake kits. Your BBK doesn't use stock pads and I don't know what shape brake pad Endless uses, so you'll have to call them and find out, but I doubt they are something you can pick up at your local auto parts store or dealership.

I know it doesn't use stock pads, silly. That's why I'm asking, haha. I'm afraid of not finding pads right away. But, Endless is located in Anaheim so maybe I can go pick it up in my xB, but as of right now I'm gonna call around a bunch of motorsport shops.

Thanks Bryan.
