Brake pads Carbotech or OEM Toyota

Man I love my old Corolla. $20 for front brake pads and a half hour of relaxing wrenching to do the job.

I love the Carbotech 1521 pads on my E60 M5. Excellent bite and modulation, never gotten fade when bombing around mountain roads, and significantly less dust than the stock Textar pads. Not zero dust, but I'd say 80% - 90% less.

I have run them for years on my ‘05 Malibu v6 and they have been great on track.

When I was really into AX the best combo I found (and what I still run for the last 6 years) is Carbotech 1521 front Carbotech AX6 back

Carbotech xp10 + steel rotors. Sooooooo damn good. They’re track only pads and will squeal very loud if they’re cold, I recommend getting them prebedded if you can’t bed them on a track.

I've had my 2013, 89,000 miles, which isn't *that* old but still, and have had zero mechanical problems. Only maintenance and expected repairs like brake pads or air filters.

I recommend Carbotech brake pads. Expensive af but last twice as long and are better than just about any other pads out there.

Toyota hybrids have no starter, no belts, no alternator to wear out and the brake pads and disks last around 100,000 miles due to little use

Driving with the Carbotech 1521(front) for 3 weeks,now. They,definitely,don't have the OEM grasp and power. For everyday driving, they're ok, however... The big plus,no dust,no dust at all.

I tried the carbotech 1521 to try to get silent street pads with better bite but no dice, it’s the same as the OEM akebonos
