Akebono makes great fully ceramic brake pads that have been long lasting, zero brake dust, and only a little squeakiness when they're cold for the first few brake presses at worst.
I went with akebono brake pads which leave a lot less dust than the OEM pads and wear slower.
I have been using this brand for ever. Perfect fit and quiet.
I've switched over to Akebono ceramic on all of my cars. They make so little dust it's kinda amazing. I would never trust them on a track day, but for daily or light spirited driving they're amazing.
I always recommend OEM pads, but the Toyota pads are going for $80 now for your Corolla. If you're on a tight budget, I'd go with Akebono for $57 at Rock Auto. Buying cheap brake pads isn't advisable.
Akebono Ceramic pads
I have used Akebonos on Jeeps, Toyotas, Ford's, Land rovers and now my BMW and honestly have never had a single issue. The biggest benefit is low break dust. They have always been noise free as well.
I replaced the pads on with Endless MX-72. Similar progressive bite to OEM, just more and WAY more thermal capacity. They feel like the ultimate brake pad. Using OEM rotors, I've had zero \"warping\" since switching over. This leads me to think that the rotors aren't actually warping but the nature of the OEM pads leads to pad deposits on the rotors. I get close to 60,000 Miles out of a set and have never considered another pad after discovering them.
i have a 2014 Camry with 120k miles and my brake pads still have 50% life, you still have a bunch of mikes left to drive if you don’t brake aggressively. i would get akebono brake pads and oem rotors unless you plan on taking the car to the track
I replaced the original textar brake pads last fall with Akebono ceramic pads and things work fine. But with the good weather I have the window down and can hear a clicking sound only when braking. It’s not a CV joint click and it only clicks under braking load when the pads are warm.
