Default Hawk Brake Pads or complete Branew Kit
Trying to find out which sponsor sells these again. I wanted to change the front only I've seen the complete Branew Kit online for 1000.00. What do you guys recommend? Getting the hawk brake pads and new rotors from lexus or the Branew Kit?

**I also need front Rotors..any suggestions on what type I should go with?**

Purchase the carbotech brakes... I just did a track day... and couldn't have been happier! I swapped out the stock pads, for Carbotech's Race Pads... ran the weekend, and then swapped back! Amazing pads! www.ctbrakes.com

Agreed. I'm running 1521 Bobcats on the street and Carbotech's race pads for track weekends. They work really well, and they have great customer service.

How do stock pads perform at the track? Always like to hear from a "track junkie".

I didn't do any laps on the stock pads... so can't answer. But I can tell you the 'stock' Brembo's were by far the BEST BRAKES I've ever had on a race track... lap after lap... Lexus did not short change in this department!

Spending money for different calipers (IMO) is a waste of money... just buy some Carbotech Pads, and your car will have more brakes (and *****) then you do!

Peace,
Dave
