I just put Zimmerman rotors and Bosch pads on my front end for ~$400. Worth every penny.

Pros: worth every penny

Check Rockauto. I replaced my brakes about 2 years ago with Dynamic Friction Geospec coated rotors and Bosch quiet cast pads. Still in great condition and stops on a dime.

Pros: great condition, stops well

I run a fleet of Camrys and use Toyota pads because I've found that they produce the least brake dust and I HATE dirty wheels.

Pros: least brake dust

Cons: dirty wheels

Vehicle: Toyota Camry

I bought my 2016 Prius used with 32k miles on it back in 2019. It now has 157k miles and the maintenance has been a breeze. Just standard oil changes every 5k, 1 transmission fluid change, two sets of tires and I don\u2019t even think I have replaced the brakes yet ..no seriously I don\u2019t think I have yet.

Pros: maintenance has been a breeze

Vehicle: Toyota Prius

Mileage: 252600 km

I swear by Bosch quietcast. I’ve done cheap brands before but seem to squeak, fade, or make too much dust.

Pros: quiet, less dust

Cons: squeak, fade

Rear brake pads and rotors will not have an effect on nor cause a master cylinder failure.

Bought a 2012 Toyota Sequoia from Heritage Motors on Shore Drive with a fresh inspection on it, So I personally figured it'd be solid, as Sequoia's are known to be pretty dependable. Not only was it a lemon/some huge issues, but the brakes were slapped together with bubble gum and hopes and prayers. The brake pad on the passenger side was installed backwards, which I was shocked it didn't make noise on the test drive

Cons: brake pad installed backwards

Vehicle: Toyota Sequoia
