Brake pads Carbotech or OEM Toyota

OEM Toyota Brake pads

I used a Toyota corrola for work . Hybrid 3rd generation. IV done 250k miles and so far . No mechanical faults . Only faults have been brakes . That's another thing due to the regen braking you can expect 150 k miles from your pads . Your disks will likely rust before they wear

Pros: long lasting pads
Cons: disks rust before wear
Mileage: 241401 km

I went from EBC to Carbotech. It’s a night and day difference. I’m running XP8, but my car is very light.

Pros: night and day difference

Carbotech Brake pads

I've been to 20 track events to this day I'm still running OEM calipers. Just carbotech pads. You don't need a big brake kit at all. The oem cracks because of improper cooldown. I learned that after a session to take my cooldown lap seriously and ever since then i stopped cracking AutoZone rotors

Pros: no need for BBK, stopped cracking rotors
Vehicle: Honda S2000

I ran stock rotors for a long time with carbotech xp10/8, front brake ducts, stainless lines, and Motul 660. The XP10/8 + ducts was sufficient for 20min session the tracks I drive.

Pros: sufficient for track sessions
Vehicle: Honda S2000

I keep XP8’s on my track/weekend car full time. For me, the noise is annoying when I’m driving through town or in a parking lot because people look at me like my car is broken.

Cons: annoying noise
Vehicle: Toyota MR2
Part number: XP8

I went to the Toyota dealership to get my free oil change, brake pads were nearly at EOL. Went back to the same Toyota dealership for my next free oil change, same brake pads suddenly had 4mm.

Cons: brake pads nearly EOL
