Researching this, I noticed that the highlander rear piston diameter is 41mm and the Camry was 38mm, which is not a huge difference. This is why I thought that if I were to do this poor man's bbk, I...

In your opinion, are they envious of your car, or are they enthusiasts and they, unlike most drivers, have an idea of what they are looking at?

On the serious side, do pads first (you will be surprised.) Go a step up from the friction rating of the factory pads. Say you got FF pads, get something with FG or GG...

Hi Derek, wow, it's a small world. Once you told me you had an M3 I figured there was no need to talk about the twins.

I am sorry, but i am not buying that these are "spy" shots. More like an attempt to get people excited and/or get feedback on something that is forbidden/exclusive.
