Brake pads POWER STOP or Bosch
Had em on my LS430, brake feel better, definitely a bit more noticeable bite
I recently (about 5K miles ago) did Powerstops and absolutely love them. I’ve done many brakes on many of my Toyota/Lexus SUVs and most of the time have had best luck with OEM, but the OEM on my Sequoia not so much (warping/pulsing). With much research found the Powerstop drilled and slotted are great for these large beasts…and indeed they are!
I went aftermarket with centric posi-quiet pads or Bosch quiet cast. Won’t ever go back to factory.
Get the Powerstop z36 don’t waste the extra money on the red calipers.
I have had good experiences with PowerStop rotors/pads. I tow an 8k camper regularly with my half ton on stock wheels/height.
I use and recommend the Z23 Evolution Sport Pads. They refer to it as Carbon Fiber Ceramic. It is incredible. It really last a long time. Has great stopping power and it produces very little brake dust.
Their brakes are quiet and last a long time compared to my previous experiences. Pads going on two years. No noise, no squeaks, no rattles. very minimal brake dust.
I self installed Z23 Powerstop Evolution Sport slotted rotors & carbon fiber ceramic pads kits front and rear from Rock Auto. Superior to OEM in every aspect. Better longevity, quieter, with greatly improved braking.
Just a word of caution, I ordered Bosch pads off of RockAuto and received off brand pads wrapped in shop towels in Bosch boxes. Still put them on and they're alright, but not what I bought. Wasn't worth it to me to send back. Not RockAuto's fault, they have third party suppliers. I'm sure they would have taken care of it had I cared enough
Get the raybestos for $81 there isn’t any need to spend any more money than that. The power stop brakes are a joke I have them on my truck now and they are not as good as the brakes I took off also the coating doesn’t stop rust.
