So I’ve been running DBA street pads with DBA rotors on the front for about 30k miles and finding I’m burning through the pads quickly. Any downside of slapping OE pads on or is it best to stick with DBA pads? Thanks for feedback!

i don't know about DBA rotors but I use OEM pads with Centric rotors on my rig with no problems.
Ive ran DBA rotors on my last 5 Yotas and swear by them
I found the Hawk LTS to be the best all around pad combined with the DBA rotors. Pads are a personal preference thing though

I have the T3 rotors and OEM pads, no problems.
I just installed the Powerbrake Big Brake Kit and the Rear kit will be installed possibly tomorrow. Excited to see the difference...my stockers were warped badly.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve run the T3 up front for about 30k miles, do you change out rotors every time or just replace the pads? I’m sure I have plenty of rotor material left. The OE hardware (shims) fit the LTS pads without modification? Thanks!
I’ve literally never swapped out a set of DBA rotors. The ones on my Tundra had close to 60k on them and still micced perfectly fine.
As for the hardware/shims, I don’t recall 100%, but I THINK I used the Hawk provided shims, but not certain
