Brake pads R1 Concepts or OEM Toyota
I ran R1 concepts for my tc2 for over four years. An improvement over stock’s brake fading prone design. Not badly priced too
One thing that I am surprised by are the brakes. They're still fine at 110k, and it's not like this 4,000lb beast has EV-levels of regen.
I'm now at 120k miles. Still have over 4mm on both the front and rear pads, and the rotors look fine. So that's at least 50k miles I'll get out of a set of OEM brakes, but I expect more like 75k. 6 speed hatchback if it makes any difference.
I can't imagine a situation where I replace them with anything other than OEM Toyota parts. They've lasted an impressive amount of time, rarely squeak, and don't make any dust.
I've had really good luck after swapping to R1 Concepts pads and rotors on my Taos. no brake dust and predictable stopping.
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.
Toyota Hilux 2018 185km- only thing i changed so far are tires, brakes, realignment(kapag lagi kang umaakyat sa pangit na daan) and drive train recently kakalaro daw ng shift stick.
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.
