Brake pads OEM Toyota or DIXCEL
I purchase a 2022 highlander brand new. Recently it hit 50k miles. Purchased pads... Only assumed they needed them. Broke everything down to find they weren't even at 50%. Replaced them anyway - but they could have easily gone 80-100k depending on how I drove.
Is your corolla a hybrid? The hybrids have regenerative braking that will make them last a lot longer.
I had a 2013 Prius for 9 years and never replaced the stock pads.
2010 Toyota Corolla lasted 150,000 miles on the stock brake pads.
My 18 camry hybrid i just traded in had 145k on original pads (not even close to worn out)
My 2011 Prius got to 250k on the original pads and rotors.
I have a 2016 Camry & made to 200K miles before I had to change the brake pads.
The brakes will give you signs of wear prior to needing to get them serviced or replaced. It also depends on how you drive. I’m at 81k on the original brakes right now and still have life left in them.
had a track day over the weekend and saw that a hard, black substance that seems a little rubbery had formed on the brakes. The brake pads are Dixcel ES brake pads. I had not bedded them in and instead street drove with it for a couple months as the website suggested. Brake grease was placed on the pad surface contacting caliper. The track has lots of left turns and I braked from 170+ kmh to 80kmh on the first corner. I'm pretty new so i may have braked deep as I was turning. The substance formed heavily on right front wheel, less on left front and none on rear. Brakes were smoking lightly when i came into the pits. Braking feel didn't change throughout the day as I continued lapping. Car still tracked straight. I tried not to brake too hard and didn't observe any other substance buildup.
Damn i have a 2009 corolla doing uber eats in Los angeles. I change the fronts at like 20-30k they start squealing.
