Default Rotor And Pads Change Help!!

Im going to change my brake pads to Akebono ProAct Ceramic Brake Pads
Front Manufacturer Number: ACT1118
Rear Manufacturer Number: ACT1391

I know there is no problem with changing just the pads from OEM to ceramic. but can i change the rotors as well without changing the whole kit? i don't believe thats a problem right?

Im going for StopTech Driller Rotors
128.44138L 128.44137R Front
128.44141L 128.44141R Rear

So Can i change both the rotor and the pads(knowing that they are from different Manufacturers)
without Changing the Whole Brake Kit?

Thanks.

Yes you can mix and match rotor and pad manufacturers. No problem with that.

Wow, do post some pics after it's done. Good to see, there are some great modified Is350's here in Dubai.
Btw, does it affect the warranty or you do not take the car to Al Futtaim?

brakes aren't much to worry about when it comes to warranty. that's one of those systems that doesn't cost too much out of pocket to fix. but going to an after market part (not Toyota/lexus) will void any warranty on any part of the car.

Well, i havent visited al futtaim since i made all those mods, but the braking system changes doesnt void the warranty here in dubai. i think the springs and the air filter i moded will void but i can make a fuss about the springs since i havent changed the whole suspension, and the filter is easy to change, it takes like 10 mins max.

i already ordered the pads, just not the rotors yet.
