I just put on some new Raybestos rotors and will be installing the Textar pads this week when they arrive. I liked the OEM feel and performance and don't mind the dusting. Otherwise, I think I would have went with the Porterfields or Ferrodos.
Thanks for the reply. Brembo doesn't actually make the brake pads. I don't think they actually make any of their brake pads (I could be wrong). When I pulled off my post-TSB brake pads, they said Pagid on them.
You're welcome and I didn't realize Brembo didn't make the brake pads. When I had my two front pads removed the labeling said brembo. It's definitely the OEM pad though. Here's a picture... <br >
Yes, that's how the stock pads are marked (Note, they also have the Toyota name on them) It's known by the community that the OEM pads are made by Jurid.
So the Textar's are basically OE but much cheaper than the Toyota branded ones. I found the Toyota branded ones just for the front's at $271.00. That's significantly more expensive than the Textar's.
It mentions new oem brake pads and rotors and in the pictures they're textar pads, the description even goes to say that they're oem. Maybe a shift in manufacturers at some point?
Bumping a really old thread to just add additional information. The early cars 2008-2009 were shipped with Jurid pads. They were noisy and dusty. My car had the rear pads replaced 2x and front 1x by the dealer for the noise. The final set of pads are the Textar, no noise, same dust. This was in late 2009, so they introduced the Textar pads at about that time. They all came in a box that said Toyota/Lexus and had "brembo" printed on the backs but Jurid or Textar stamped into the backing plate in the upper left of the back of the pad. Now you can buy the Textar pad in "Textar" generic form on eBay from Europe. They are the same compound but have a small cut out on one side of the fronts for use of an electronic wear sensor when used in the Mercedes application. 1 style probably saves the company money.
I just put these on yesterday, feel great with initial run. Easiest brake job I've ever done. And I've done more than a few. The pads are the same as the ones in your link. Got the whole setup from BMAParts.com for $679 out the door.

Nice! When do you plan to install? Let us know how it goes and what differences you feel compared to the OEM pads.
