From my understanding the TRD pads provide better stopping power but the cons are they produce a lot of break dust, have a shorter life span and are harder on the rotors. They also have a specific breaking procedure. If not done properly they can mess up your rotors.

Here is a good write up on Toyota brakes.

I don't think TRD pads harder on rotors. These pads are grippier but softer compound and will wear out sooner. Replacing them especially up front is 10 min job. Slightly more dust is true but not bad enough where you will notice from over 6ft away.

x2 on akebono. fronts i just did with duralast gold rotors. feels great so far. kept the stock rotors to have turned when the duralast ones fail. (autozone product shenanigans)

Thanks for the info on the rotors. I was wondering how Toyota made the pads grippier with just ceramics. Usually brake pads with better stopping power usually have some type of metallic materials which wear down the rotors faster. I didn’t know if they were using some other type of material. But if the TRD is still all ceramic then the wear should be the same as the OEM pads

For the price, I have had really good luck with Bendix Fleet MetLocks on the front and Bendix Priority One Ceramics on the rear.
