Brake pads OEM Toyota or Mintex
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.
replaced calipers with OE ones again, uprated discs with mintex pads. worked hundreds for bout 500miles and now its playing up again like before.
mine tended to do that after i put in the mintex pads. i figure its just the metal content of the pad.
I used Mintex red's on the 54's - once, a while ago - and I was not impressed.
when i bought my girling 60 setup the seller threw in a set of mintex red box pads.....i hate them. i was never impressed with the red box's in other cars but on my setup they squealed like crazy when i was off the brakes. i too had the issue with the pads overhanging into the center of the rotor but i took a rolox disc on a die grinder and took a little off the inner portion of the pads. even after doing that they still squeal. plus theyre a real dirty pad and after about 10k miles i only have about 50% pad life left.
