Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Toyota

One thing that I am surprised by are the brakes. They're still fine at 110k, and it's not like this 4,000lb beast has EV-levels of regen.

I'm now at 120k miles. Still have over 4mm on both the front and rear pads, and the rotors look fine. So that's at least 50k miles I'll get out of a set of OEM brakes, but I expect more like 75k. 6 speed hatchback if it makes any difference.

I can't imagine a situation where I replace them with anything other than OEM Toyota parts. They've lasted an impressive amount of time, rarely squeak, and don't make any dust.

Ferodo DS2500 paired with Zimmerman blank rotors and Motul RBF600 is what I use. The tracks I go to are more technical and not fast so it's great for my use case. I imagine if I went to a track where speeds are above 150Km/H and have long, fast corners, I would need better pads. I'm considered intermediate to advanced and last ran a 1:47 at CTMP DDT with worn Vitour Tempesta Enzo tires. I think I can run low 40s this year. I would not track with stock pads. I overheated my pads and brake fade hit hard. The pads melted and I went off the track and almost over the hill at TMP (Cayuga).

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 used DS2500 for my first 2 track days but outgrew them rather quickly on a 2800 lb car. Last time I swapped to DS1.11 and felt much more confident braking deeper into corners with zero fade at my intermediate level. Now I just use DS2500 for the street and canyons.

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.

DS2500s on my daily. Bit of squeak, but it’s not bad at all. I have EBC yellow on the rear as they don’t make DS2500s for a non PP mk7.5, and they’re garbage.

I had a track day today with 1 hour session and closer to the end they were fade.When I took the pads out to check I noticed that they are extremely glazed like covered with a melted metal.Also, looks like they covered rotors with this melted metal, the inner side of both of them.The outer rotors surface is fine. The outer pads look the same glazed.I was checking them yesterday last time and they looked fine.The friction material looked fine and not that glazed.It's on the last photo.I was trying to brake short and strong all the time.There car is Suzuki swift sport.Brake pads ferodo dsuno.Track Zolder.
