Mines lasted for a good couple months... Had them mated with brembo drilled/slotted and grip was somewhat okay, very dusty unlike what many say about how they're dustless... anyway, just go with Toyota OEM pads...can't go wrong with them.

Mine went for about 9 months when I had them paired with EBC rotors.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

from my experience, EBC green had the best bite. EBC red dusted way too much and melted faster than green.

Currently on Porterfield and they have even less bite than EBC green. however after break in, it is dustless.

Mine have lasted almost a year so far with my Brembo cross drilled slotted rotors. That was about 13,000 miles last year.
Best pads and rotors combination I've ever had on any of my previous cars as far as dusting,longevity and year round performance.
I've had several sets of Axxis Metal Master and OEM pads on my other cars.

I've had mine for about 2 years now, and logged about 15K miles on them. Pretty good, and I have no real dust issues. I'm buying them again in a few weeks cause they're getting low.

Mine have lasted almost a year (and about 12K miles), with a fair amount of pad left, and I have no issues with them. I have very little dusting, and I use them moderately hard. I don't have stop-and-go traffic to contend with, so that may be why I have little dust...Very good initial bite, especially when they get some heat in them.
