Wow. In 1 year and 30k kilometer, the pads are worn like this already?

Do you frequently drive hard? As I know, Toyota pads are quite long lasting.

Can show us the condition or your brake rotors too?

You replaced at Toyota SC or outside workshop?

Replaced outside. Unfortunately I assume quite hard. Tends to be the most aggressive drive on the road whenever im on the road. Lotsa hard braking often or rather always.
I changed it outside.

Ohh.. It is to be expected then with your driving style.

Information I got from google:

Why are my brake pads cracking?
Cracking, Glazing, or Lifted Edges on the Pads

This can be caused by many things. Overuse, improper break-in procedure, hydraulic system problems, seized caliper components, defective pads, and the parking brake not fully retracting are some common problems.


From your driving style, you should use better performance aftermarket brake pads.

Original pads doesn't suit your driving style already.

Ok. I always assume japan Toyota that would be the better ones already especially since 14 yo toyota how much pressure u can exert. Seeing this probably coz I exceeded the capability if the stock pad? If so im relieved

Original pads was designed to provide sufficient braking under normal driving conditions.

If you push it hard, it won't last long. Thus, aftermarket brake pads comes in.

But you have to keep in mind, some aftermarket brake pads might eat your rotor faster due to the friction compound use and might be noisier when braking.

Original pads will give you the best smoothness and comfort when braking. Probably less brake dust too.
