    Hi all,

    Any advice for pads/rotors on a 2015 1794 (Gas model)? Not looking for anything stupid (like super high performance or anything), but also nothing that is known to fall apart after a few thousand miles.

    Toyota claims that OEM is always better than any aftermarket, but I'm not so sure.

    Any good makes/brands that would suit me fine?

    TIA

    I just run the oem stuff. It’s not ridiculously priced and works fine.

    OEM is fine. If you tow I would use Cryo treated rotors, at least on the front. They last better for heavier use.

    Search is your friend but OEM is the way to go, and please don't ask why :)

    I was in a pinch and had to use what was available at oreillys. With the discount code, it wasn’t too bad. Ended up using the premium pads and rotors. I think they label it import direct. 500 miles and they feel pretty good.
