GS 350 AWD Rotors
Anyone know where I can get good “blank” rotors for my 2007 GS 350 AWD. I found brakeperformance.com has rotors for the AWD. Does anyone know the quality of these rotors? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks
I understand that the front rotors are different than the RWD rotors. Also, I originally wanted to get drilled or drilled/slotted rotors for the lex but decided against it due to the various forums that have negative reviews on them such as the drilled or slotted rotors being too noisy and they crack easily. I plan on getting akebono ceramic brake pads.
Are these the specs for the AWD front rotors?

not sure about all dimensions listed above but I know front AWD rotors have min thickness listed as 28mm right on them... Did you measure yours yet to see if you even need rotors or are you replacing for another reason (i.e warping)? Since you are not looking for slotted/cross-drilled, why not just stick w/ OEM rotors?

Well I have 70K miles on my GS and wanted to change out the brakes because they are wearing thin. I want to get new rotors because on my previous cars if you don't change out the rotors and just replace the brake pads, the life of the pads decrease and it might also just be time to change out the rotors. I do notice some warping.
I figured I would go and get aftermarket blanks because they were cheaper than the OEM rotors. Which run about 107/each.

Your login name seems familar with all the research I have been doing on rotors. Did you ever get the slotted/drilled rotors installed on your GS? How'd you like them? I believe you ordered them from brakeworld.com?

Yes i have had drilled and slotted from brakeworld and i had ebc slotted rotors. They are all crap and cost twice the amount of oem. Right now i am running oem blanks believe me
When i say they are all crap stick with oem. If you want details why i hated then ill be more then happy tell you.
