Brake pads OEM Toyota or OEM Volkswagen

Since we had good luck with OE, went OE for replacements. So far, a few hundred miles in, all good.

based on the inputs so far, I have decided to take the Sequoia (price: around $5000, he takes care of the brake pads and rotors.

I've done an almost complete overhaul on my bought-from-OG-owner low-k '07 B6 3.6 wagon. DSG from an R36, completely rebuilt suspension front to back on airbags, brakes, wrap, interior, sound system (the list goes on and on) for less than the purchase price of a used-by-who R36.

Have original brakes on it at 66000 miles.

2016 Toyota Avalon Hybrid with 170k miles.

-Still original brakes

-Only done maintenance on it, no issues.

immediately replaced rotors/pads and replaced yellowed headlights. All the parts were dirt cheap on Rock Auto.

I swapped my FJ cruiser stock front brakes for the larger GX460/V8 4Runner discs, calipers, and shields, as well as adding stainless lines as a nice upgrade package.

My 06 GTI had the rears wear out at 70k. The fronts lasted until 135k. I was completely dumbfounded that the rears wore faster and the fronts lasted that long. I replaced everything with OEM parts and am experiencing similar wear on the new stuff.

The front brakes have suddenly started vibrating under a heavy load on my Alltrack. The dealer replaced all rotors and pads just before I bought the car. the new brakes have about 6k miles on them.

I managed to install my brake pads inside out on the rear of my MkIV Jetta. Noisy.
