In some cases, the difference is between the aftermarket and aftermarket is big. For example the HUD in the toyota corolla works best in the AGC glass, and all the other brands distort and is a little hazy.
I got mine changed from Express Lube Liqui Moly Bhatta Chowk for my Corolla Altis at 70,000 Km for Rs:25000 for everything.
I'm now at 120k miles. Still have over 4mm on both the front and rear pads, and the rotors look fine. So that's at least 50k miles I'll get out of a set of OEM brakes, but I expect more like 75k. 6 speed hatchback if it makes any difference.
I can't imagine a situation where I replace them with anything other than OEM Toyota parts. They've lasted an impressive amount of time, rarely squeak, and don't make any dust.
I just changed out my rotors and brakes, both fronts and rears. I went with the Akebono ProAct pads, Centric GCX front rotors, and Dynamic Friction Geospec rear rotors. The OEM front pads are Advics (GG friction rating), and the rears list NBK (FF friction rating). The Rotors are all Advics.
The ProActs are slightly better, but nothing significant. I had plenty of life in the fronts, but my rotors were slightly warped, and the outer rears were pretty worn. 50k miles, pretty much on the money.
I went with Akebono ProAct pads, Centric fully coated front rotors, and Dynamic Friction fully coated for the rears. I don't have any complaints.
our oldest car right now which is a 03 corolla altis na binili ng brand new, now with 230tkm mileage, no breakdowns, hanggang ngayon, orig paint, original ac compressor, ac condenser is still original, engine and automatic transmission was never rebuilt yet, alternator is still original, original ignition coil packs are just replaced recently kahit na hindi pa nasira, napagtripan lang na palitan na, factory injectors are just recently replaced, pero hindi rin sira yung original, fuel pump was replaced upon reaching 210tkm, pang ilalim lang napalitan after 220tkm, and ofcourse the normal wear and tear items. radiator, engine thermostat and water pump and radiator fan motor were replaced after reaching 200tkm. maliban dun wala na, yung mga sensors are still original, regular lang na nililinis. and nadadala pa sa kung saan saang pasyalan, now its already my son who drives the car on a daily basis
Right now I’m looking at getting the Akebono Proact pads. Fairly confident the pads are good cuz that’s the OEM brand to my understanding
Is your corolla a hybrid? The hybrids have regenerative braking that will make them last a lot longer.
I keep having an issue with the disks warping, I decided "why not just let the dealer do it and go OEM?", they wanted over $600... for just FRONT rotors and pads, tiny Corolla brakes. I can get the quality Brembo kit for 1/3 of that.
Lagi kong issue yung carburetor nya, 2 beses na kami nagpaoverhaul gamit yung repair kit hanggang sa nagpalit na lang kami ng brand new pero taiwan made yata kasi lagi sinisinok na parang laging kapos sa supply ng gas. Nagpalinis na rin kami ng fuel tank baka kasi kinakalawang na tapos nababara na yung fuel filter.
