Which brakes for road use

[NoHachi]

If you do not plan to do any racing or downhill time attacks, then the stock setup is best..They produce almost no dust, bite hard from cold and are dirt cheap..For a street car i would always go with this setup..

Regarding discs..if you have not cracked any discs yet, you will not crack them in the future (unless you do track) Paying 3 times the amount of money for groupN discs is a waste in that case.

All the other stuff is nice, but way to expensive to justify for everyday use..save yourself the money and invest the difference in a set of better tires..These will improve your handling feel, stopping distance and cornering speeds..much better investment..

If you do want to go the track, just buy some pure trackpads (DS3000) en DOT5.1 (always good..change fluid a lot!) en you're all set..remove after trackday and have the best street setup again.

The Toyota guy is correct.

The standard brake pads are very good. Even for tarmac rallying!

I've used Mintex pads in the past, but they can glaze up with light use. They chew the discs up too.

I've used Toyota pads ever since.
Good wear rate, too.
