Default cheapest place to get OEM rotors and brake pads?

hey guys, what are my options as far as sourcing some OEM rotors and brake pads for my IS 250? I obviously want to pay the least amount and get the original OEM stuff.

Thanks!

I think Sewell Lexus sells the OEM parts at competitive prices. You should check them out.

Sewell or Carson are the two lowest I have seen. Carson sometimes comes in a tad lower, at least on the things I have ordered.

The short answer is yes they make oem rotors. Centric makes blanks for alot of different companies from like Stoptech.

I'm curious what you think is "better" about that for non-track use?

Just incase you want to get new OEM brake pads at a discounted price, look up a brand call Textar. They make OEM brake pads for the IS250.
