Brake pads OEM Toyota or Hawk Performance

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.

The brakes will give you signs of wear prior to needing to get them serviced or replaced. It also depends on how you drive. I’m at 81k on the original brakes right now and still have life left in them.

I have a 2021 Corolla and the stock pads are on 70k miles, I've never had a new car with the pads lasting this long. There is a a lot of material left and I'm definitely getting the exact OEMs for replacements.

OEM pads made it ~62K on my '17 OR with a lot of towing. Rotors didnt have any wear.

I was using dtc 60s for the last half of last year and they lived up great through 7 days of tracking (8mm/5mm remaining rear/front), however the aggressive bite has a learning curve and is prone to ice pedal on my car. I'm switching to their ERS-1 pad this year and expecting them to last even longer.

I’m currently running Hawk HP+ on all 4 corners. I love how the pads feel and hold up- I don’t mind the noise but the dust is so so bad.

I used hawk pads a few years ago on my F150 and even though they were advertised as dust free, they put off some of the worst dust ever even after following the break in instructions. Nowadays, I am a huge Element3 fan boy. All the family vehicles have em and I have no complaints.

I haven’t heard of fake brake pads but be careful. The main reason I’m commenting is HP+ pads might be good for autox but if you have experience on track, I’d avoid. Granted, my experience using them was on a 2015 WRX but you can overheat the pads pretty quickly on a heavy braking circuit.

The time I drove the Nurburgring I was using Hawk 5.0 pads and I lost my brakes to brake fade 2/3 down the track.
