Brake pads Brembo or OEM Toyota
I personally like the Brembo SR they work both cold/wet and hot, they're noticeably better than the SA pads they have.
The M-Sport brakes are more than a pretty face. There is so much stopping power. A car this size has no business being able to decelerate this fast, yet anytime you push the pedal, there’s always more to be had. I don’t think I’ve driven a car of any size that can compare to the kung-fu grip that those Brembos have. Paired with the 22’ wheels, ABS is almost irrelevant because there’s no locking, just stopping.
I run a fleet of Camrys and use Toyota pads because I've found that they produce the least brake dust and I HATE dirty wheels.
The original discs/pads are an insane ripoff. They want something in the range of 600-700€ for a (front) set. I ordered a set from Brembo for ~260€. It felt the same.. No difference in how it felt/braked etc.
I found the front brakes (brembo) and the rear for 109 and 99. They\u2019re better brakes and then the factory organic bs brakes and will take me an hour of my time to do.
Brembo factory replacement are OEM equivalent or better
I put brembo pads and discs last time and I got about 4 years out of them before gave up (I'm pretty hard on them).
Just wish they didn’t squeal…..
Brembos are very overrated I’ve had them on 6 different cars now and holy the brake dust is insane would not recommend
Bought a 2012 Toyota Sequoia from Heritage Motors on Shore Drive with a fresh inspection on it, So I personally figured it'd be solid, as Sequoia's are known to be pretty dependable. Not only was it a lemon/some huge issues, but the brakes were slapped together with bubble gum and hopes and prayers. The brake pad on the passenger side was installed backwards, which I was shocked it didn't make noise on the test drive
