Lets talk non performance aftermarket parts
I know there's times you want to use OEM parts. But for parts like brakes and rotors you can get away with aftermarket. Just wondering what some of you have been doing. I need new rear brakes and rotors. Ive had good experience in the past with Wagner Thermoquite pads.

If your happy with that, then I don't see why not. They do the same purpose, just cheaper .

Take a look at R1Concepts.com I've been ordering from them for years, and they haven't let me down yet.

Some of the 2010 model IS250s that I looked at will be needing pads soon. I was thinking of Napa Ceramic pads. They are holding up quite well on my current ride.
