Brake pads Zimmermann or OEM Toyota

I always useToyota/Honda pads. No noise, and they last longer. NAPAs best pads may or may not squeal, factory pads don't.

Still on the factory brake pads too.

oem for toyota brakes everything else makes noise for some reason

I have 112,000 miles on my 22.LE and no issues so far I even have original brakes

I stick to oem pads and rotors because they last a very long time.

I remember somebody talking about swapping out the Brembo for Zimmermann brakes and he was much happier with those.

One thing that I am surprised by are the brakes. They're still fine at 110k, and it's not like this 4,000lb beast has EV-levels of regen.

I'm now at 120k miles. Still have over 4mm on both the front and rear pads, and the rotors look fine. So that's at least 50k miles I'll get out of a set of OEM brakes, but I expect more like 75k. 6 speed hatchback if it makes any difference.

I can't imagine a situation where I replace them with anything other than OEM Toyota parts. They've lasted an impressive amount of time, rarely squeak, and don't make any dust.

OEM. Though they do produce quite a bit of dust.

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.
