Default WHich brake pads would you get?

Let's say you have a 4 piston big brake kit.

Which brake PADS would you get... The toyota brakes will cost me the same price.

Project mu or Endless?

What is your reasoning for your choice?

thanks

Honestly bryan i used work @ the dealership in "my" opinion i would stay factory because last time i check my co worker had aftermarket brake pads(green stuff i believe its calld) that he bragged about spending the $$ and it came out he gain more brake dust then factory toyota's so another way of saying i would pick toyota over them brakes but i aint a professional its just my opinion

Well i have the Ebc'sfront and rear and the brake dust is very minimal IMO.. The green stuff pads have a coating on them in the begining during the break in period so they give off more than usual but now they are fine.. I have red stuff on the front and very minimal as well...

I doubt this will help.. evryones has there own opinion... Good Luck..

EBC Greenstuff V4. They've been awesome.
I imagine Endless would be good, haven't tried them though. Check with TLW.

Hey Bryan.
If you are daily driving your car, i really encourage you to keep toyota, they are #1 oem for me at least.
i tested them at the racetrack, and they do not fade.
so i put in a good word for them.

although i just made a purchase with endless usa for some pads for track use only, i only hear good things about them.

if you want to strike up more points at car shows. i guess aftermarket is better. For a easy aftermarket replacement, you can go with the regular endless pads, since i only hear good things about them and i am soon to be using them. the regular endless will provide a high quality affordable braking pad im sure.

Where did you get your endless pads from and how much were they? You can pm if you'd like.

BTW ill go with you to the track next time.

Once again , thanks for everyones input and I look forward to new ones as well.

brake pads



Click Me
for a big brake conversion......
they are going for 3425.oo Good luck on the purchase ... i could try to see if i can get them cheaper for you but thats ALOT of money for brakes IMO... but they are the best IMO
