    Heard some squealing from the rear, thought it was the indicator telling me low brakes.

    Pulled these off, they are original Toyota OEM put on at the factory AFAIK, and have 140,000 miles on them. Mostly city driving too! I measured the front rotors for fun, they were at 24.99mm. Front pads are 6.xx+, rears right around 6mm. Basically, probably had another 100,000 miles on them...

    One of the caliper guide pins was a little sticky so I'm glad I pulled all those out and redid the grease on them, and I did a full brake flush on all four corners as well. Fluid wasn't really that bad, I've seen way worse.

    For those curious, I bought a set of Powerstop coated rotors with ceramic pads (all four corners). Just did the bedding procedure are all temps are within normal and similar to each other. So far very happy with them, we'll see in a few years. They were $150 after rebate IIRC for four rotors and four sets of pads. Pretty inexpensive.

    Around no kidding that's right up the road usually rotors and pads and all don't look that bad on generation three is at this point with 140 K but I guess anything's possible I don't drive this model anymore but I have two parked here that one's got 396,000 mi on it and had new pads slid in it one time and that's it and all four rotors still look well almost brand new and on the 2013 Persona half the mileage almost and very similar.

    On our ‘10 the front pads are around 6 mm, at 100k, kilometres. Maybe due to lots of stop-and-go, versus highway. I’ve opened them up for inspect/clean/relube every 3 years or so.
