Brake pads Textar or Raybestos

Brakes are a composition issue. rears wore out at 34,000 miles on my 22 Taos S. Replaced with Raybestos Hybrid ceramic and with 87,000 they still have plenty of life.

Textar

Love my Raybestos ST43 on my Corvette for the track with 200 series tires. They can be a bit annoying on the street.

Raybestos Element 3 in the Forester (surprisingly good pads and cheap AF)

The textar pads are great for normal and slightly aggressive driving. The initial bite is great compared to ceramic pads, although they do dust a lot. To me the trade off is worth it for great pedal feel.

I did use raybestos pads for my girlfriend’s Yaris and they are holding up fine and were a fraction of the price of advics!

Around 12k miles, the anti-rattle decal on the left front Textar pads melted and which made them rattle in the caliper over bumps. FCP Euro exchanged them for Pagid pads and no problem since. Rear Textar pads have been fine.

I have the Raybestos EHT on my ol' Camry and Avalon. They lack longevity and will pulse toward then end of their usable life. The quality control has slipped a little of the years. You might have to file fit them(as with any pad). I'd say that they won't tolerate a hack installer. My EHT stopped better than my Akeboner proacts.

Well, I just put Textar pads on and am looking to swap them because they\u2019re super dusty and squeal with light pressure, so I too would love some recommendations.

First post in evo forum, looking for any advice on how to lower the noise from my raybestos ST-43 brake pads. I know that these are race pads, and I take the car to the track, but lately I've had to drive it to work as well. During city driving, when I brake from like 20mph, the screech is so loud its starting to become painful to my ears. I am trying my best now to just do sudden stops. They don't make much noise if I press the brake pedal firmly.
