I bought my ISF with brakeperformance.com rotors already installed in the front. I now need rears so I went with the same company. They offer a lifetime warranty against warping and cracking. I got the OEM style cross drilled rotors for like $180 total with free shipping. My fronts seem to have a lot less dust then my brothers ISF used to have with OEM pads. I was quoted $250/rotor wholesale cost on new OEM rotors, so for $180 shipped to my door for aftermarket with a warranty I was happy.

Where are you getting your info from?? Front rotors are $416/pair at sewells and rear rotors are $540.44 per pair from their site http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...-2008-364.html. Front PADS are $260 at Sewells. I paid $180 for two rear cross drilled aftermarket rotors SHIPPED to my door from brakeperformance.com with lifetime warranty against warping or cracking.
As for $250 per rear rotor being wholesale, a friend who works at a dealer quoted me that, which is still cheaper then Sewells prices ($40 cheaper then Sewells).

Nice, didn't know the CL discount went that low. I assume when a non-lexus dealer orders parts from a lexus dealer, "wholesale" costs aren't really "wholesale". In any case, I have the brakeperformance.com rotors on my fronts and theres no fade, no warping, no squeaks, and I beat on the ISF in 115 degree weather with no brake issues from them. I don't track the car and don't intend to so not sure if a difference will be noticed there. Still a $200 difference for the rears (which I just bought). Time will tell how they hold up, so far 10k miles on the fronts without issue.

New painted bumpers from Sewell are also a steal compared to having a body/paint shop respray your old one.

Interested to know thoughts on the Centric rotors vs OEM ones for those of us who do light track work with the car (I'm happy with the performance of the OEM brakes but Lexus Australia thinks we print money and charges accordingly)

Yeah, make sure you sign up on Sewell as a CL member. Some of our discounts are RIDICULOUS for some parts. I have an old friend that's the Asst. Service Mgr at Sewell, and he said that's employee pricing. He checked if he could get me a better price on my rotors, and it ended up being the same as what he would pay.

Any company warranting their rotors against cracking is assuming you won't track the car. There is no rotor made the F can't crack.

I just had a Lexus Tech look at my brakes, I have 30% left on the front pads rear is fine for a LONG time he mentioned. All he recommended was changing the front pads & that's it (but will need tires somewhat soon). So I am thinking I may go with O.E front pads or Project Mu due to less brake dust & just go with a whole new set of Michelin PSS O.E. size. 19800 miles currently on the car.
