Default brake Questions

I am replacing front and rear rotor and pads on my car. What's the current favored rotors the IS350 owners like to use. I have some Akabono Ceramic pads I want to try and was thinking about EBC Ultrimax Slotted Rotors. Yes I know that slotting, drilling and dimples do no good on the street but I do like that they are anodized black. I am not completely sold on them though. I also read that Centric is the OEM supplier to Lexus. What say you? Thanks

I ended up buying EBC Ultra Max Slotted front and rear. Akabono ceramic pads. I liked the rotors were coated black coating they put on to protect from rust. I also liked how they state what sort of steel was used.

BTW. isfdude. Is that a G2 paint color on the caliper? Looks good very close to the F blue.

Yes it's G2 paint. Looks good. It's not my car though. But that setup is amazing. I bought a set of front and rear rotors but ended getting a good price on a full F sport BBK. So now I'm thinking of selling my setup since I never had the chance to put them on.
