I bought the car brand new which is almost two years ago now...
All the previous brake work has been done by Toyota so whatever manufacture they use for replacement is what went on. As I said never really had problems with the pads just the rotors would overheat.
As of Monday I put on the hawk sector 27 rotors with hps pads. The rotors have a high temp rating so these should work well. I'll make sure to follow up as I put some miles on them and post pics bc they look awesome. Also they stop way harder and abs does not engage as easily.

 

Make sure that you break in the pads and rotors properly and don't use them hard for the first 100-200 miles.

 

So ive owned the car for two years and have put up with these less than stellar front brakes for too long.

so it was two years old when ya got it ?
How many miles were on it then ?

what would make ya think those are still the factory installed rotors/pads ?

maybe the po had a cheapo brake job done prior to selling ?
coulda' been some shade tree mechanic over torqued the lug nuts to further aggravate warping ?

My factory installed brakes bite nicely... maybe even a little overly sensitive to me.
I have 29K on them... lots of consumable life remaining.

Maybe some shade tree mechanic installed semi metallic pads
and never changed or turned the rotor(s) ?
would explain "less then stellar" from day one

I think it better to just buy new rotors
machining leads to the possibility of overheating the brakes, increasing the chance of warping.
lest not forget the over-torquing of the lug nut(s).

Not sure if they're mfgr'd for the corolla (probably R)
but I run brembo blanks and Akebono ceramic pads on my '00 Tacoma.

I'd like to do that to my corolla.. when the factory stuff wears out.
But the factory rotors and pads have always worked well for me...
I went thru 3 pad/rotor change using Toyota parts on my Tacoma
wasn't till the last change that I moved to brembo/akebono

The softer Toyota pad compound is kinder to factory rotors.

Many OEM brake components can be a hit or miss deal.

Toyota factory parts... or brembo/akebono
Only brake parts I'm putting on my Toyota's.

EBC is a reputable mfgr
used to run their pads on my cbr

btw... ceramic pads need to warm up a little to work well.
neat thing is... you can abuse the crap outta them...
and they will ignore our errant ways. Lol

Don't run metallic - semi metallic pads... they eat rotors

 

You must be hard on your brakes. I drive hard sometimes in the mountains but I've not had any complaints about my braking quality. At 70k miles my front pads are still much more than 50%.

I think that there are many decent rotor & pad options. I've heard good thing about EBC brakes and Hawk pads too.

 

I use autozone lifetime brake that last one and half year but they give me new pads when I take it back to them. Brakes are the same for 2010-2013 The oem didnt last me very long either. My rotors never warp so I am not sure why yours warped? I never had to re;place my rotor but I am sure any auto parts store carries them. I guess it just depends what kind or brand of rotor you want to buy.
