Brake pads OEM Toyota or Project Mu

DIYer advice: buy Toyota pads/rotors from your local dealership's parts counter. Take a photo of your VIN for the parts guy. Once you're in their system, buying parts will be easy. You'll typically pay 20%-25% more for OEM parts, but do you really want to buy cheap pads/rotors?

Red stuff are absolutely NOT track worthy. Will fade in like 1 lap. Any pads advertised as "low dust" tend to fade pretty fast. Yellow might be ok but I think they're still more of a performance street pad. Project MU HC+ are a good streetable track pad, maybe the best, use them on my Megane RS, no trouble with 20 mins sessions on high speed tracks and trackday tyres (Yokohama AD09). A little squeel at low speed on track but quiet enough to live with IMO.

My oem brake pads, (‘23 A-91MT) are getting low ish after a year of driving her and going to the track. OEM ones seem expensive but they did last a hpde 1/2 driver a year.

I'm on my second one, a '19 Prius Prime I bought new has 507k miles on it today. About to do the first brake job on it soon.

Project MU HC+ pads. These have a higher operating temp range than Ferodo DS2500 and are perfectly streetable too. I get very minor squeal when coming to a stop if it's been a while since they were used hard. they also have great braking feel IMO, nice and sharp, and perfectly controllable. I use them on a Renault Megane RS 280 Cup, I've used them on track with semi-slicks (AD09s) and they held up great in 15 min sessions. Some minor vibration after the day but that fades away with use (or another hard besdding session). Do not recommend Ferodo DS2500 especially with semi slicks. Might be ok for your first day if you're slow, but you'll almost certainly cook them on your second and get deposits on your rotors. Great performance pads or the street though. On my car I only use them on the front, rears are stock.

2012 Prius, 202k miles, still with original brakes.

2017 Prius Prime, 110k miles, still with original brakes.

Both inspected annually by our mechanic. Both still going strong.

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 did Project MU B force pads. DBA 4000 rotors, Stop tech stainless steel brake lines, Motul 660 brake fluid, radium brake booster brace(a must). Make sure to set those pads in the correct sequence and they gonna rip your face off bud! I had 6 piston brembos also, what a difference!

I do not recommend these for the street, however the track performance is off the charts.

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.
