Yep. And it's super dealer dependant and also part dependant it seems. Some Toyota dealers are cheaper and some or way more. Some parts are cheaper and some are more expensive at the same place

Cool. Just the feedback I was looking for. I figured there was nothing wrong with it but thought it was worth asking when dealing with something important like brakes

Yeah, I figured as much but didnt hurt to ask. Especially since OEM and Centric are the only options for the rebuild kit I figure pretty good odds it's the same lol. I know for my old STi the old Napa brand parts were mostly the same as OEM
