Looking for Ceramic Pads for GS350F
Guys and Gals, anyone know where to get a set of Ceramic Brake Pads for the 4th generation? The OEM dust is KILLING ME! I changed the OEM on my BMW 550 to Ceramic Pads and LOVED THEM! They stopped on a dime and the dust was no word of a lie 95% better! I would not notice dust on the wheel for days, where the dust on the 350F I notice in literally minutes.
Any locate for Ceramic Pads that will fit?
Thanks!

Thanks guys: Touch the wheels with your finger and let me know how black they are. The color of the wheel helps, but the black soot is there guaranteed! If you do not wash them by hand every few washes the soot will remain and then eat away at the clear coat of the rim.

Armor All has a product called Keep Clean Wheel that you can spray on and wipe off. It keeps the brake dust from accumulating. I used it on my Audi S5, as did several other owners in the Audi forums, and it works. The only thing is that it takes almost a bottle to coat 4 wheels, but it is still cheaper than ceramic pads.

Ok so on my BWM 745 I had a huge brake dust problem so a lot of guys over on those forums recommended Akebono pads. I did in fact buy some and they were great. The dust was 95% less and I felt almost as good as stopping power.
My problem is since our car is so new I cannot find any pads listed for year 2013. Maybe someone here can find me a link.

Found out through Lexus that the only other model that uses the same pads as the 350F is the 2013 GS450h, which does not do us any good because there are no aftermarket pads for that model either! Seems Lexus did a complete change to the system, so we cannot try to match the pads with other later models. Thought I would give it a try. We will just have to wait...Bummer.
