Default Brake pads/rotors/caliper recommendations.

What and where would be the best pads, rotors, and calipers that you would recommend? I have a 2007 GS350 awd and its just a daily driver and i need to replace all these.

TIA

Oem pads OEM rotors and no clue why you are trying to replace calipers, but for whatever reason stick with OEM.

I agree with OEM pads, but I put some R1Concepts slotted rotors on my wife's GS350 and all the squealing went away. I am not a fan of OEM Rotors on Lexus vehicles. I had one left rear caliper freeze and used an aftermarket Cardone(all I could find that day). It has held us very well.

you can try autozone duralast Gold CMAX brake pads/rotors. they give you a limited lifetime warranty so long as they wear evenly you can get a new set free. they claim to be quiet too.

Had the same question not too long ago and went with stock rotors made by Raybestos (Centric was my other option) and high end ceramic pads from my local auto store.
