Brake pads OEM Toyota or OEM BMW
I just shopped around for the brake pads for my 2 series, got the front ones done for £150. It was a trusted garage and they inspected the large m sport discs and said there was life for another set of pads on them after this new set. I’m also quite a light braker, so discs and pads tend to last me a long time.
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.
OEM. Though they do produce quite a bit of dust.
This happened to my Gen2. I gave it to some guy to change pads and these lights came out after. I think he didn't do it properly and air entered into the line. I then took it to a local Toyota dealership where they fixed it. (I don't recall what they did exactly, maybe flush and replaced the break fluid). I was fearing it was the actuator, which as other have posted, is very expensive on this Prius. I had to drive very slow and careful, because I had no power in the brakes, so they were hard and slow. No ABS. No regen either.
As someone else mentioned, the rear brakes are tiny and even running Pagid RS29 race pads, the rears were 3mm more worn than the front after just one track day.
