Default Brake Rotors and Pads

Searching for aftermarket Rotors and Pads that can replace the stock ones in the 2013 Lexus GS 350 F Sport RWD. Stock Rotors are getting thinner and here in Malaysia it costs RM 4000 (U$D 1,000) to replace only ONE rotor at Lexus. Might as well spend it on aftermarket Rotors and Pads.

Anybody here can help me with this? /:

I have replaced my rear rotors and pads. I used OEM rotors and Akebono pads. Very satisfied with the results. Sorry I cannot recommend any non-OEM rotors for you.

Replaced my rear brakes and rotors on my '13 AWD. Used ATE PremiumOne Rotors with Akebono Brake pads. I'm definitely pleased with the performance of this combination of aftermarket brakes/rotors. My mechanic has also always recommended Centric brand aftermarket rotors.

Here's a thread showing the ATE PremiumOne Rotors on my GS: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-4k-miles.html

Another helpful thread about Centric Rotors: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...wd-gs350f.html

Ajlex, those rotors are awd and are not 2 piece rotors which is what the rwd version requires. This is also why you cant find any aftermarket versions.

You have to bite the bullet and pay lexus. I found mine for 225/side online and both do have different part#s so make sure to order the correct ones. I also used the ceramic akebonos with the original lexus backplates to eliminate unwanted squealing that may occur with the akebono plates.

Installation is a snap. Banged mine out in 90min with cleanup.

Order them from a US dealer and pay shipping? You should be able to get both rotors with shipping and taxes for under 1k.

Found these EBC RK series rotors selling for about $630 (inc.shipping) for all 4 on eBay. Can't find any slotted discs that can fit the front brakes on the F Sport RWD
