Brake pads DBA or OEM Toyota

I'm running DBA Street Performance pads. Low dust and performance seems fine. I'd buy again.

I purchase a 2022 highlander brand new. Recently it hit 50k miles. Purchased pads... Only assumed they needed them. Broke everything down to find they weren't even at 50%. Replaced them anyway - but they could have easily gone 80-100k depending on how I drove.

Is your corolla a hybrid? The hybrids have regenerative braking that will make them last a lot longer.

I had a 2013 Prius for 9 years and never replaced the stock pads.

2010 Toyota Corolla lasted 150,000 miles on the stock brake pads.

My 18 camry hybrid i just traded in had 145k on original pads (not even close to worn out)

My 2011 Prius got to 250k on the original pads and rotors.

I have a 2016 Camry & made to 200K miles before I had to change the brake pads.

However, on Toyotas, I always pay the extra money for genuine Toyota discs and pads. They’re still made in Japan or the US. Whereas all of the aftermarket options for Toyotas are Chinese-made junk. And since those aftermarket ones wear out so fast, they end up being the more expensive option per mile vs the genuine parts.

I installed rear DBA ceramic pads and rear TRW ceramic discs last weekend and after a week I’m seeing these aggressive scratch channels circled in red. I do hear a constant scraping while driving without braking.
