Complete IS-F Brake Thread (Under-construction)
I am currently in the process of gathering all the options we have available to us for our brakes. Hopefully it will take all the information we have spread out over this forum, and put it in one spot and make it easier for all of us. Please hang in there as I am still gathering all information but here is a start to it. Also feel free to add information along with links so I can add it as well. Thanks.
Also please note that you can find many of these parts for cheaper, but if a link to a sponsor of clublexus is available I will try and use that link to make help make this as friendly as possible.
Front Brake Rotor Options
OEM Rotor (Part # 43512-0W060)
The is the OEM Brembo rotor that comes standard on the IS-F. These seem to be the most expensive replacement option for our car, and if you pick them up from your local dealer be willing to shell out of $300 for each rotor. You can order these offline for a good bit less money. Sewell has them listed on their site but they keep going up in price. Now they have them listed at around $600 for the set with clublexus pricing. I do not know if this is an error or what, but I have found them at other places for around $220 each.

Frozen Rotors (Part # 2455 FZR)
This is a blank rotor that has gone through a 60 hour cryogenic process that is suppose to restructure the molecules inside the metal to help with longer life of the rotor. I took the liberty to contact the people at Frozen Rotors and they confirmed this application, however you must allow 10 days for the rotors to ship from their facility as these seem to be made to order. Their webpage has each front rotor listed for $178.69.

Raybestos Rotor (Part # 980675)
This looks to be our cheapest option out there so far. Rotor is cross-drilled and has the stock fin configuration, however I am not aware of anyone that has tried these out yet. Rockauto has these listed on their website for $106.89 each.

Centric Premium Rotor (Part # 128.44164
Dont know much about this rotor except that it is cross drilled just as the stock rotor is. I have used Centric rotors in the past but the cars weight was about half of what the ISF weighs. If someone has these installed please leave a link to a review. As for price looks like these are about the cheapest option we have, as tirerack has these listed for around $110 each.

Front Brake Pad Options
OEM Front Brake Pads (Part # 04465-0W120)
This is the brake pad that comes on every IS-F from the factory. It puts out a lot of dust, but seems to have trouble free operation. If you are looking for a pad where you do not have to clean your wheels after every stop, then this is not the pad for you. These pads are also pricey, so if you pick them up from your dealer expect to shell out over $300 or maybe even $400. Sewell has these listed on their website for $303.83 for a set and with our clublexus discount it comes out to $270.41 plus shipping.

I posted this on another thread about a year ago:
Just to update, The price for the Feredos has gone up a lot in the past four years. I tried to negotiate with Edwin, and I really didn't like his attitude, so I started looking around, and I found a new source for those, http://speed-freaks.net If any of you guys are interested I have a Coupon code good for 5% off. They are super helpful people. I delt with a fellow named Anish. And, I now know the Ferodo PN it's FRP3100H-N.
I also have a discount code worth 10% for Carbotech and Project Mu. PM if if interested.
Lou
I have talked to the people at Ferodo, and received the following responses:
"Hi Lou,
Thanks for the interest!
(front) FERODO DS2500 BRAKE PADS $220/set
We do not yet carry any rear pads for this vehicle.
For ordering, or for more information, you can reach me directly at: 800-733-8380.
Best Regards,
Edwin Robinson.
http://www.RaceShopper.com
1-800-733-8380"
AND
"We also have FRONT ceramic pads for street use available immediately.
They are $119/set
Please mention the referring customer when you order - this way we will be sure that they receive their referral credit.
Best Regards,
Edwin Robinson.
http://www.raceshopper.com "
I have used Ferodo in the past with outstanding results. Also, a member on another forum installed these pads, and his comments were:
"I fitted the pads Sunday. Great news, its easier than a pad slap on low end cars. Low end brake systems, (read) most require removal of caliper to fit pads. ISF just slip out of top after pin removal. Its actually less labor. The whole job took an hour in the garage. Of course I did clean & lube all pins & movin hardware. The pistons 6 per caliper I was able to push back with my fingers evenly till they bottom in the bore. The calipers are embossed brembo in very small LOGO on the top of the caliper. The finish is first rate. Moving along, the ferodos work nicely, after bed in intial bite is similar to stock but as I increase pressure the bite seems a bit more aggresive which I like. As for track time with these I will see in spring. The price was right & the job is easy if you know cars & brakes. Its nice to see that any work can be done at a home shop. especially if the dealer quote is 700$ Cheers & Happy New Year to all. Hope to see some of us at the track in 09"
So, the news seems to be good with Ferodo.

Just curious, why does the rear rotor cost more than the front?
