What is the best place (cheapest) location to get OEM rotors?

Searching for pads...I think I am going to go with Centric Ceramic pads as they are better stopping power over Akebono and will create slightly more brake dust


Edit: There are two different Centric pads for AWD F-Sport...anyone know which one is right one? 105.13911 vs 105.13910

I also have the 2013 standard GS350. I have about 65000 miles now, and I wanted to change the front rotors and pads. I was told that the left and right front rotors have different part numbers. They cost the same....about 124.00 each. I've never heard that the front rotors are different. Can anyone verify this?

Thanks

I believe this is so. On Tire Rack they show them as Front Left and Front Right. Also when I had my new tires put on the guy at the shop said they were directional rotors so they would have to be a specific one for each side.

Any fix for squealing under light brake? I tried Akebono proact 1118 but the squeal come back in a day, the rotors are new OEM, around 8k miles.

Thank you in advance.

Default Quiet so far

End up I didn't use CRC brake quiet, because I read somewhere, it can't be use on the pads with shim.
But I took the brake pads out and look for metal to metal contact I might missed to apply anti seize, luckily I found out the 2 clips of the shim touching the caliper didn't get any grease/anti seize on.

It's been over a week, no squeal, quiet even before, during or after rain, morning, night, heavy, or light braking. Hope it stays like that forever.
