What's wrong with stock Toyota pads? I couldn't kill mine on the track! I put stock pads back in after 70,000km brake change.

Funny thing is, they actually work better once heated up on the track.

And as for maintenance, I take all four of my rotors off at least twice a year and using a flexible metal disc on my angle grinder, grind off the dark buildup and all the rust that form on the rotors from use and sitting in the weather.

my stock brakes also work very well on the track and on the street. ive got 60k miles and i dont even know how many track days on them, maybe 25 ish. no vibrations or any other problems ever. i have taken the brakes apart for cleaning + inspection every 10k or so. i will be putting oe toyota rotors and pads back on if these ever wear out.
