Brake pads Raybestos or OEM Toyota

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 did the raybestos element 3 pads and coated rotors on my 2018 rogue and my wife’s Ford Escape. Very pleased and affordable on Rockauto

I bought raybestos ceramic pads and di it myself for $35. The new pads are quiet and have 30,000 miles on them with no significant wear and about 80% less dust.

I've bought Honda brakes for my 09 Accord several years ago, perfect fit and function. go with name brand, doesn't have to be top tier but OEM is a good starting point. I've just always gone with Raybestos for all my cars

I used a Toyota corrola for work . Hybrid 3rd generation. IV done 250k miles and so far . No mechanical faults . Only faults have been brakes . That's another thing due to the regen braking you can expect 150 k miles from your pads . Your disks will likely rust before they wear

Some prices I don't know how they pull off. I got both front rotors for my Armada for $70. Added Raybestos pad set for $13. I've put around 6000 miles on my new brakes and haven't had a moment of noise or issue.

i went with Raybestos Element, after reading they performed OK, and the price is fairly inexpensive. so far OK with minor issues. during installation, i shaved a hair off the pad material and the pad ears to get them to fit not as tightly. and after installation, the pad sometimes makes a click sound when changing direction of travel, or sudden acceleration after a complete stop. i think the pad is moving around in its mount and making a sound. did some searching and this might even happen with OEM to some people. i added more grease to the pad backing, noise went away for a few weeks, but later returned.

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.
