Hey folks,
I know there are quite a few Brake pad threads but I would hate to order the wrong ones. Looking to replace the pads on the wifes 2013 F-Sport RWD. Looking for suggestions and part numbers so that i get the right ones.

From research it looks like Akebono and Autozone sell them but I am not sure if the front pads differ from the AWD to RWD versions?
Thanks!

Edit- also looking for rotor options if they are found to be warped. I'm guessing the OEM ones but they seem quite pricey! I have an appointment at Lexus dealer next week.

The pads are the same, front rotors are larger on the rwd

I second that!

I've found the OEM Lexus rotors for just over $200 each on parts.com. Is that about the best I can do if I go that route?

mrpartsman

centric brakes is the first company who came up with part numbers for the rotors but they are not available yet , I called them 2 years ago and they said they wont make it , its only dealer and the company who makes the rotor is Advics brakes and if you look at ur calipers it will say Advics on it.

Stoptech has rotors listed for f sport front and rear, awd and rwd....do I need to install them for you as well

mrpartsman

I know they do here is part numbers also 120.44186 L and 120.44187 R, but they will never make it buddy, its a 2 pc rotor, I deal with them thats y I am saying that for, I have been waiting for them 2 make it for the past 2 years,but the have the rears and here is the part # 120.44189 .

Update:
To my surprise my local lexus dealer only wants $340 for front brakes including new rotors and labor! (I supply the pads, going with Akebono ceramics).

Not bad at all! I just ordered the pads and will make the appointment next week. I was expecting a quote for around $1k

Sounds like a good deal. I was also expecting close to $1k. If you don't mind me asking, how many miles did she get out of the original front brakes?

Glad to hear this, mine are coming due. Which Lexus dealer have you that price? Thanks

The GS has 47k miles on it now. We did buy it used with 14k although I doubt brakes were changed prior to us purchasing it.
