Brake pads Bosch or OEM Toyota

I have 112,000 miles on my 22.LE and no issues so far I even have original brakes

I stick to oem pads and rotors because they last a very long time.

I also have those Bosch pads on my Tundra and they are really good, quiet, low dust, excellent overall.

I think the Bosch pads work fine.

Last year a shop replaced the rear brake pads and disks but since then handbrake never was like before. They kept telling me it will get better which I believed at the time but it never did. Last month I've passed inspection and they told me that the rear left handbrake was almost out of spec and I'd need to check it out although it passed.

So a month later I've bought a Bosch kit, sliders, pads, grease, toolkit etc and replaced the 1 year old ferodo pads. Now handbrake is like it should be and I'm happy with it but take a look at the old pads...

Both inner side alignment pins (caliper side) are bent.

Bosch quiet cast or Zimmerman. Also Bosch blue pads, ceramic if you want clean and semi metallic if you want to stop

bosch quiet cast pads and rotors. changed my life

I did this set up for my 2014 RDX Tech. I went with Bosch and I have to replace my front pads again and will be changing them again with Bosch.

I had this problem after working on a friend's Infiniti FX35 and also using Bosch ceramic brake pads.

The problem for me was that Bosch pads have a different inside and outside pad for the rears for that vehicle. I've used Bosch pads before and never encountered this.

The pads were not marked and nothing on the box indicated there were different sides so I didn't notice. But they have protruding nubs on the backing that cause the caliper to not sit properly and increase their thickness, causing constant drag on the rotors.
