ItzFilyO, I thought you changed your break pads about a year ago to Autozone Duralast Ceramic pads?

Thanks for the info. I looked up the part number on Autozone site and it says it does not fit my RWD 2013 F-Sport. Here are the ceramic options I was given:

DGC1686 Duralast Max $74
DG1118C Duralast Gold $49

Does anyone have experience with either of these? I see some people use the DGC1686 for the F-sport and seems to have good results (they are identified as 'better than stock' pads on the autozone site) but the DG1118C is labeled as a ceramic replacement for the stock pads which include high friction compounds to work like stock.

I did but I changed it back to the OEM pads cause my car can't stop on a dime. That's something to keep in mind when changing to different brake pads, u may need to get ur rotors resurfaced first.

the ones I listed will fit your car...you want the cmax gold...they list different part numbers because over the years of the gen 4 car Lexus changed the composition of the pad, but not the caliper itself...so they all will work. Some brake manufactures only list one pad for all 2013-2016 gs reguardless of which trim level you have.

and for the record, my car stops on a dime

Do you know what the difference is between the Duralast Gold DG1568 and the Duralast Max DGC1686? There seems to be a big price difference ($36 and 75, respectively) and both are ceramic. When I looked both up, AutoZone's website says both will fit the 2015 GS350 F-Sport.
