If you have an 06 GS, you need to order the front rotors too..If you have AWD make sure to specify you need the AWD Rotors! Don't make the mistake I did, do it right the first time.

PS make sure to make an account first and link in your club lexus member name, you will get special pricing...very nice feature!
Thanks for the help. I didn't want the rotors because I wanted to get slotted rotors.

I personally would check ebay. I've gotten 2 sets there and always got a very good price. Just make sure it's a reputable seller.

Which seller did you use? I just wonder about those parts because the prices vary so much that I don't know how good the quality is. Especially on something important like brakes.

On my first GS I bought the drilled rotors off Ebay and when they were installed they rubbed against the dust shield, just a warning they shaved the shield down but just letting you know!

to be honest that sounds like wrong size to me, even though it might be close?

Yeah found that out once they were put on, wasn't going to ship it back cause had complained about the metal look of the rotors they looked very cheap in metal, but hey you get what you pay, thats the reason I didn't purchase drilled rotors for my new GS, cause I felt the brake pads were getting eaten up.

Do you remember what seller you bought from? Did it also come with free ceramic brake pads?
