I love hawk pads and raybestos Element3 rotors
I used a Toyota corrola for work . Hybrid 3rd generation. IV done 250k miles and so far . No mechanical faults . Only faults have been brakes . That's another thing due to the regen braking you can expect 150 k miles from your pads . Your disks will likely rust before they wear
Ive been really happy with the Hawk HPS 5.0 on 3 of my vehicles. Low noise low dust (and the dust it does make comes off with just car wash soap) and a noticeable increases in pedal feel.
I use Hawk HPS 5.0 pads, happy with them so far
Hawk HP+ if you want to spend a little bit more and get an impressive bite force even when cold. Also suitable for street and light track duty.
I went with Hawk 5.0 pads and Zimmerman rotors on my 340i. Very happy with them.
I use Hawk 5.0 pads with R1 Concepts Drilled and Slotted rotors, stops on a dime and cuts alot of speed when adjusting going into corners very predictable
I run hawk 5.0 pads (i used to use ebc yellow but theres been reports of ebc pads delaminating so i stopped using ebc)
I use the centric premium coated blanks & change rotors every time I change pads.
For fluid I use ate200
I swapped out the hoses for braided ss hoses.
They feel amazing and the braking power is noticeably increased but they create an incredible amount of corrosive dust and make a really terrible high pitched noise on occasion under light braking.
However, on Toyotas, I always pay the extra money for genuine Toyota discs and pads. They’re still made in Japan or the US. Whereas all of the aftermarket options for Toyotas are Chinese-made junk. And since those aftermarket ones wear out so fast, they end up being the more expensive option per mile vs the genuine parts.
