IMHO, your hard pressed to beat the OEM rotors and pads.
Akebono pads, they were a Toyota supplier at one time.
Brembo rotors if you even need them.

 

I just use Akebono ProAct or the stronger ASP. Plus basic rotor like Centric C-tek. You can use coated rotors for better rust resistance.

Some suggest Raybestos EHT3 pad/rotor set. Check rockauto and use the 5% discount code if you buy from them.

RockAuto Discount Code

Hey guys, I got this discount code but it will expire on October 24th and I won't be using it. I don't know if it can be used more than once so whoever uses it first might be the only one to get it. All you do is put this number "38391513162399" without the quotes in the "How did you hear...

Thanks for the suggestions! I guess I am a little pressed to move on from OEM because I'd like something that lasts. I bought my car used with absolutely 0 issues at 33k miles. Had a professional check it out and they stated that the car was well taken care of. Previous owner didn't lie about them taking care of it. I drive a lot for travel on the west coast and taking advantage of my vacation so when it comes to the distance, I want something that will last a long time. I am aware though that Toyota stuff is pretty good themselves.

Get a Hybrid next time, friend of mine has an Avalon Hybrid 150k miles with the original brakes, I have a 2019 Camry Hybrid with 45k miles on it, no sign if brake wear at all.

 

I'm just surprised you think it's time for new rotors at such low mileage on a well taken care of car.
My 2014 had almost 80k miles when I sold it with original pads and rotors.
Had I needed brakes I would have only changed the pads.
Why do you need new rotors?

 

Akebono and Advics would be OEM pads.

It does depend on driving condition, but 50K would be a bit short for Akebonos and OE rotors. If driving condition is harder (mountain driving), then I'd still consider Greasy's recommendation on the Raybestos EHT set as he did.

This member got the pads from the local dealer, and the edge code shows it's "AK" - Akebono for the T100:

Replacing brake pads & rotors-Fitment Issues

Tired of brake pedal pulsation so picked up new pads (Wearever Platinum Ceramic #PNAD611) and rotors (Wearever #YH141744) from Car Quest. the pads don’t fit correctly as noted in the photos. Almost like the portion that comes in contact with the rotor is too large as it hangs over the edge of...

Figure out all the part numbers for the full TRD Camry brake system if you want to upgrade. I'm surprised you only got 50k miles though. Why not just replace with OEM? Be sure you flush your brake lines too to get all the air out.

 

IF his brakes lasted only 50k, I would think the next choice is something that lasts longer.

ALSO , flushing brake lines is usually done to get clean dry fluid in. Air bubbles are not an issue under normal operation. You'd expect the possibility of air under drastic un-maintained high mileage cars...

 

Can anyone recommend a high end brand or shop for both brakes and rotors?

I've replaced the OEM rotors around 20K due to warping with EBC Ultimax slotted rotors and after 80K they show no wear and perform a few leagues above the oem blanks. And I've been using Wagner ThermoQuiet pads for the past 10+ years and not planning to switch to other brand.

 

OEM is better. Check price and buy when on sale. When buying pad, don't buy the ones with AZ in part# as they are lower in quality.

 

OEM what? The OEM rotors and pads are just average and can't handle anything above average driving conditions and style.

 

I am at 40k+ miles my brakes are about 70% thick. No vibrations. Not sure what kind of roads or driving habits you are going through.

 

Hey guys! Sorry for the late response but I appreciate all the feedback. So I decided to continue with the stock until it is absolutely needed to change out the rotors and brakes. I actually was given a free set of brakes from my dealership because of an accident that occurred during the 50k oil change that happened. They took responsibility for it and repaired the damage to the rear and also replaced my rear brakes for free. When I say brakes I mean the "pads". Also, I want to ask for some advice/more info on something else without starting a new thread. Looking at the specs, the stock Alt gives out 100 amps. I'm looking to upgrade my speakers to something better (Not too wild but better than stock jbl) but curious if by doing so, will my alternator get too overwhelmed. Or rather, will my battery suffer too much from the upgrades? I'm looking into getting the big 3 done but read that by doing that, there might be headlight dimming issues which is fixed with a stronger alt. Anyone else with a 18 XSE V6 done or request anything similar? Thanks in advance!

 

stick with OEM, you get piece of mind knowing your item is made for your car and you avoid catching any shit from the service advisors.

 

Do service advisors from the dealership really catch things like that? Is it that bad? D:. Kind of wish the stock OEM stuff had more oomph to it. I've tuned it out the best I could on stock but it seems to lack power.
