Make sure to install the wear indicators on the Outside Top Position.
Thanks to the Lexus IS F • FSM for the Brembo Brakes







Also, had some like new 255/35/19's laying around, so had those installed on the Front 19x8.5" wheels.. Kinda like the RC F

Big Thanks to my good friends at Tire Central in San Gabriel for that..



And Lobuxracer for the verification of good fitment

Look very nice. How much does the part cost?

Looks very nice! Are the OEM Brembo rotors from the dealer any different than the OEM Brembo's off eBay?

Which part ?

Joe Z

Not too sure on that one.... I don't really shop on Ebay...

The ones bought via the dealership come in genuine Toyota / Lexus parts boxes..

Brembo OE manufactures these to the Toyota / Lexus specs for the part found on the vehicle originally.

There is indeed cheaper & more expensive options out there for rear rotors... But for my needs the OEM parts work & fit perfectly..

Had they made a low dusting OEM jurid pad for the IS-F, I would have bought that.. But I've had some great experiences with Project Mu low dusting pads over the years.. They design the backing plates and brake puck material fitment to OEM spec.. So it to hass a perfect fitment..

The FSM says to put the wear noisemaker on the inside.

FML.. LoL.. I give up.... Top or Bottom ??

First round I had them on the outside TOP.. which I am pretty sure was the right way...

Here is how OEM delivered the Fronts from the Factory... Don't have any good pics of rear set ups..




Edit... They do go on the TOP side Outer.. Damn it..!! LoL

I stand corrected. Every other Toyota is inside bottom.

I recently bought oem pads and rotors front and rear on ebay from an AZ Lexus dealer. They installed the fronts but after seeing this I have a feeling I am going to be sitting on that fresh set of rear rotors and pads a while.

Except for the oddball IS F

I know what I'm doing when I get home later..!!

I've recently ordered the OEM front and rear pads off of two separate ebay sellers associated with Lexus dealerships; in both OEM Toyota/Brembo packages, there were two tubes of the Brembo Anti-Squeal paste.

As far as I can tell I dont have any in my package but all went well with the fronts.
