Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Toyota
I like the Ferodo DS2500 for street/canyons, tho I find they’re pretty dusty.
Genuine Toyota Brake Pads hindi naman araw araw pinapalitan yan and safety ang nakataya dyan. I’m not saying hindi maganda yung mga replacement brands pero by using Genuine Toyota Brake Pads 100% sure ka na ok ang quality yun kasi ang binabayaran sa Genuine parts yung peace of mind na pumasa yung parts nayan sa standards ng Toyota.
Sa mga brake pads specifically may mga replacement brake pads na naninira ng brake rotors.
If you have 312 mm front rotors I'd suggest to upgrade to FER-FCP4433G
DS3.12 pads https://www.brakes-shop.com/fer-fcp4433g-ferodo-ds3-12-brake-pads-front.html and Motul 600 / 660 brake fluid (or Castrol React SRF).
With this setup you will be limited by your tyres and suspension.
Don't buy DBA rotors and pads or EBC pads. You will destroy them (like crack in pieces).
Don't run with OEM fluid or pads \u2014 you will definitely lose stopping power relatively early on.
I have a 2007 Prius. Bought it with 120,000 miles. Got 365,000 on it. Never put brakes on.
I've driven a 2020 Prius Prime for 5 years now. Best car I've ever driven. Through 68,000 kms, I'm averaging 2.0L / 100km's. EV is programmed to not turn on below approx. -20C as a longevity feature. When temperature is below -8 the engine will turn on until warm enough to run EV efficiently.
I have a 2006 4Runner with almost 350,000 miles on it. Solid as a rock. All I do is change the oil and occasionally replace the break pads.
Back in May I swapped OEM pads for Ferodo DS2500 for my first track day in my GR86. Otherwise the car is bone stock. I noticed some slight pulsing of the steering wheel but only during hard braking (100 to 30mph). No brake fade that I noticed.
The 3.12s have a LOT of bite and can make modulation tough on certain cars. On my E46 M3, I run DS UNO or DS1.11s. That's with the AP race kit front & rear. Didn't like the 3.12s for that application.
Ferodo DS2500 feel good but don't last as long as the CP's and have a bit more dust.
I used ferodo's once... Lasted me 2months daily and a single trackday. I'm only in a Z4.
