Time for new brakes. Input wanted.

I still haven’t replaced my pads yet but I’ve pulled the pins and the springs to inspect and clean.
My rotors are still looking very good and I prefer to keep them untouched since there’s no pulsating at all. This is my philosophy on brakes but I’m not recommending for anyone else. When I bought OEM pads I also bought OEM shims. I did buy aftermarket pins and springs but those can be quickly replace if I’m not satisfied.
Edit: I just did my 2015 RAV4 brakes. The pads wore down nice and evenly to about 2mm. The clips and hardware were really like new. Still had some original silicone grease on the back of the shims. I did not use the new stuff I bought. Just pads.
Here are my part numbers if anyone needs them.
Verify with a dealer.

Thanks for the list. Just ordered everything (including 4 new rotors) from

Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories: Official Online Store | Autoparts.toyota.com

Yes, free shipping and major Memorial Day discounts.
 
Update since I posted that…I changed my mind and also replaced the rotors. I started to experience pulsation, and my rotors just looked worse and worse despite having good runout numbers. Did the pads and rotors at 153k miles and no more pulsation. I’ll be doing the rears including rotors this Summer.
