What brake pads do you like for stock rotors ?

[nrgetic99]

98 limited, stock twin piston calipers and stock rotors (in good shape).

I used to use the excellent Performance Carbon Metallic which seem to have dissapeared.

What do you like ??

Stock Toyota pads.

I use Auto Zone cheapies, but they are lifetime warranty, so yes they wear out faster, but as easy as toyota pads are to change, its worth it to me to go ahead and do it more often for less money. You buy the first set, and put them on, when they wear out, you buy a new set, and put them on, then you take the old set (in the new box) back to Auto Zone, they give you your money back. See, Free Brakes for life, as long as you dont mind changing them a little more often. I usually still get at least a year out of them.

OEM pads.

Thanks all..that was my default and the trade pricing I get softens the blow.

I've been moving towards using the cheaper metallic pads, but the Tundra upgrade doesn't seem to require anything special to stop the beast in a hurry and without warping the rotors. If you want low dust then the Akebono ProACT ceramic pads are an excellent choice.

I went OEM on my 2nd gen, and when my 3rd gen needs pads, I'll probably do the same.

OEM pads are about the best you get get for a Toyota IMHO...

Have you ever tried the Hawk LTS pads? They've been great on my 4runner and about comparable in price to the factory pads - no noise, low dust, excellent performance. If you buy cheap aft mkt pads, that's what you get . . .
