I got ASP pads & fully coated Centric rotors when I did my big brake swap & they treated me well.
Pros: good performance, reliable

May have been overkill but it worked a charm. (ebc yellow stuff, dot5.1, high carbon rotors)
Pros: worked a charm
Cons: may have been overkill

What I've discovered is that the design of the OEM rotors are BMW 2-piece brake rotors with iron friction ring with a lightweight aluminum rotor hat. This design , to me, has flaws and is prone to excessive heat and warps rather quickly. I've had the same problem repeatedly. I switched to Zimmerman one-piece cast iron rotors with OEM pads, and I've driven very hard, and it hasn't happened ever again.
Pros: drove very hard, hasn't happened
Cons: prone to excessive heat
Vehicle:
BMW
I went with Zimmermann discs for their cost and have had no issues with them.
Pros: good cost, no issues

Just pads and rotors is fine. Probably cheap rotors causing the issue. Go OEM Toyota. Almost positive Akebono pads are oem, as well as Advics rotors. Either way these will not warp.
Pros: OEM Toyota reliable
Cons: cheap rotors warp
My experience with hundreds of thousands of miles on many different Toyota/Lexus SUV’s is to go with OEM. You shouldn’t have to do anything with the calipers unless one is frozen. You’ll know that for sure when you try to collapse them to put in the new brake pads. Otherwise just new rotors, pads and all hardware (pins, shims, etc)
Pros: OEM parts reliable
I’ve been running these for a few years….much better than the stock oem
Pros: much better than stock
I had EBC disks in the past (not on my Alfa tho) and they were very good in my opinion.
Pros: very good
I bought brembo front and rear and the rears were uncoated and already look shite. The front ones are rust free.
Pros: front discs rust free
Cons: rear discs uncoated, rusty
Zimmerman and Carbotech, EBC do not hold up.
Cons: do not hold up
