Toyota OEM pads?

[androo007]

Ebc pads are pissin awful

[chambers360]

I have. Carbotechs on mine fantasic stopping power but in all honesty if you just using uour car on the road id go oem, when i get mine back on the road im swapping the carbotechs out for oem because the amount the squeek is actually quite embarrasing

I've had a bad experience with EBC Reds, abseloutely woeful. But then i've seen Pistol petes car do a whole trackday on EBC yellows without a hint of fade.
So maybe they arent as bad as they used to be

So i've been told and I'm considering changing next time round but can you explain why? (only asking the question androo, not having a dig)

The other half thinks it's embarrassing when I brake and my Carbotechs squeak. Worth it though, they're epic.

Suppose it helps that mine isn't a daily driver....

Loads of great responses in here!

Thanks very much for sharing your experience, I'll get the OEM pads from my man at Toyota and look into the XP6/8's for my next change, anyone have experience of the Carbotech versus the Porterfield item?

Again, apologies for covering old ground but people always seem happy to talk about their experience with different brakes.

Thanks again

I have used Porterfield on my cars since the late 1990s, no noise, not any extra dust and stop the car better than any other pad I have used.
They also last a long time.

Bob do you order them straight from the US website?

not sure I rate the OEM pads, I've got some in mine at the moment and braking isn't as sharp as I'd like it to be. Though, I run stock lines on mine and had braided previously, which I think is causing the issue.

Mine have just started sqeaking too so i'll be looking into this.

Yes

Also ask JAAASH as he has fitted porterfields on his turbo.

Im gonna use up the carbotechs then probably try the porterfields. I dont think i could go back to oem pads now but the squeaking is rather embarrasing!
It makes the car sound like the 21yr old car it is.

I'll put up with squeaking for the awesome stopping power of Carbotechs. The missus hates it though, she thinks it's awful and embarrassing.

The best fast road pads I've used (on the Supra) are the Endless MX72 pads, amazing bite, quiet and not too dusty.
