I'm ready to pull the trigger on pads and rotors.

Where is the best/cheapest place to order Akebono pads and R1 rotors (blanks) for my 2007 GS350? Are you guys ordering from website, vendor, or from ebay?

Also, is there only one type of Akebono pad? I'm looking for low dust.

I'm also considering Centric blank rotors. Is there a specific model I should focus on?

Ceramic pads, centric rotors with epoxy paint so they don't rust, do not get drilled or slotted rotors

So you only ordered one rear rotor? Seems strange you would no change both rear rotors

I just got me new rotos and pads, For pads I wen't with Posi Quit Semi Metallic, front OEM rotors (because aftermarket rotors came out to be same price) and rear Centric Premium rotors. Front Oem rotors I got from Sewellparts.com and everything else from rockauto.com

I got both sides. I was just listing the prices per unit for each item. The pads come in pairs though.

why not get the drilled or slotted rotors?

Because they have less mass and warp easier, make whiring sound when braking, and are only for looks. Utterly useless BS

After doing some research on the subject, I decided that blanks were the best for my application.
