Brake pads Carbotech or OEM Toyota

2016 Toyota Avalon Hybrid with 170k miles.

-Still original brakes

-Only done maintenance on it, no issues.

immediately replaced rotors/pads and replaced yellowed headlights. All the parts were dirt cheap on Rock Auto.

I have a ~375whp WRX about the same weight as your car and am running Carbotech XP10 / G-loc R10 (they're the same pads) and have had no fade.When I installed my front bbk I ran the Stoptech sport pads and they were not enough, swapped to the R10s and had zero brake issues all day.

I installed Carbotech XP10 brake pads in the front, and they seem to work really well. When I drive the car, it will squeal sometimes when I’m not even pressing the brakes - when this happens, I can make it stop with any pressure on the brakes. I like the idea of keeping these brakes in because I like the added stopping power, and I like being ready for the track at all times.

I swapped my FJ cruiser stock front brakes for the larger GX460/V8 4Runner discs, calipers, and shields, as well as adding stainless lines as a nice upgrade package.

Carbotech 1521 or G-Loc GS1 (same compound). Same stopping power as stock but much more progressive, don't have that really harsh initial bite the stock ones have and make way less dust. 10/10

I recommend Carbotech Pads, and no I'm not affiliated with the company, but for my street pads, I only run them on my vehicles. Drastically reduced brake dust, didn't notice any loss of performance or increase in heat from spirited driving.

recently went to brakemasters to get brake pads for my 2014 rav 4. Set of front brake pads only ( 4 pads) with labor total $180.

Yes forgot to mention mine only started this when switching over to carbotech pads. Stock pads I never saw this issue.

I ran into some brake issues. The pedal started getting squishy even in wet conditions. It never got dangerously deep, but it was still unpredictable. In the last session, the track dried up and I was able to push. I experienced somewhat serious fade. I had to absolutely stand on the brake pedal to get the car stopped. After pulling into the paddock and circling around to let the car cooldown, I still smelled brakes for the next 20+ minutes. The pedal firmed up on the way home.
