Default help with brakes!!!!!???

2010 awd gs350

Need some help from CL members on deciding on which brakes to get. I was trying to see if oem will be best or is there another aftermarket that is good. Basically need recomendations on brand. The current ones are making rims very dusty and makes the rims soooo dirty. Also which rotors should i stick with?What are the prices becuase Im gettin random prices all over the internet. thanks in advance

I did some Akebono brake pads this time around, I think I got them from RockAuto.com. Slightly less dust than the stocks, yet stop just as good!

yes many use akebono pads with Centric rotors. They work well.

What they said.... I have been using these pads for multiple vehicles through the years. My wife literally put 70k on the same set of Akebono pads and rotors. I was checking them routinely jsut to make sure and they held up.
