First those rotors are torched. Get some new rotors. They ain't that expensive for the Corolla. Then get yourself some new pads, Akebono Pro Act. Grab some Powerstop ceramic break grease. Some Ac/Delco silicone brake lube. These 2 products are top notch. Forget permatex, mission, 3m, superlube all that bullshit. If your calipers aren't toasted \"ripped piston boots, rusted pistons or seized/ rusty caliper pins. Then get new calipers. The noise you're experiencing could be from not using anything on the back of the pads where the piston touches and the caliper touches. Ripped piston boots give the old screechy screech as well. Take that caliper bracket off the wheel and wire wheel it free of all dirt/rust paying particular attention to where the pad clips sit, you want those areas to be perfectly clean and square. Razzle it down with some brake clean then apply the powerstop grease to the pad clip seats then set the clips and install the bracket back onto the wheel. Next use some of that powerstop grease and paint the ears on the new pads so they slide nice and easy in the pad clips. You don't need much. Please don't use copper anti seize on the pad ears. Just the powerstop stuff. Next clean off those caliper pins, boots and bores. Make sure the face of the piston is free of rust and dirt. Get those bores and boots super clean. Then add the ac/delco silicone to the pins careful not to blob any on the tip face of the pin, that is important. The ac delco is a bit different than all silicone paste/ grease. Be careful with it and don't apply too much. Get a little delco in the boot baffles and squish it around to distribute it inside the boot. Then just put it all back together. Bleed the lines in the correct order and done. I promise your brakes won't make a peep for a long long time. Service them at every oil change to make sure everything is lubey loobed.
The brakes that come with the performance package have plenty of stopping power and never leave you wanting for more.
I used Hi-Q rotors and Akebono pads on my Patrol. Stops great but the Akebono pads cause a lot of brake dust.
Nope brand new, did my F150 with akebono pads 3 months ago and looked just like that.
I recently replaced my son\u2019s pads/rotors on a 328i f30 , I used Akebono ceramic pads and Zimmermann rotors, he likes them much better than the oem because it doesn\u2019t make much brake dust your wheels stay cleaner, he didn\u2019t notice much difference in stopping distance, but doesn\u2019t track the car just normal spirited driving on streets and backroads
I am using those. Very quiet and low dust.
I think akebono's are worth it for street/canyon although heavy so there are better options if your actually racing
Uro Tuning has the best price on OE level replacement Brembo Prime rotors and pads. Bonus: the pads are quite a bit less dusty
The oem brakes on my 2012 were lackluster and kept seizing pins or calipers so I fixed the problem for good
Those Akebono pads suuuuuuuuuuck. Super clean, no brake dust, but just garbage performance.
