That would not be my choice.

Try it and tell me I'm wrong. I did it at Carolina Motorsports Park and there was no difference in stopping. I only realized I had no pad left when I went to put gas in the car for the next session (which didn't happen because I didn't have another set of race pads with me.)

Anyone have any info on "Centric" vs "Raybestos" rotors? Price is pretty much the same, not sure which to buy.
Also, anyone running "CENTRIC Part # 30913650 StopTech Street Performance Brake Pads; Para-Aramid Material" ?
The Centric pads seem to be Stoptech pads. The part numbers for the Centric Rotors seem to be Stoptech rotor part numbers also. So the Centric stuff is all Stoptech?

I just did my front pads last week (along with painting front calipers, doing the rears this week). I went with Duralast Gold since a few members on here seemed satisfied with them in one of the other threads.
I was either on still on stock pads, or Raybestos pads - can't remember if the previous owner changed them. They still had a decent amount of wear left, but I was sick of the excess dust and squealing. So far the new ones feel pretty good, especially for the price, just normal street driving.

Just be prepared to spill a little fluid and wear gloves.

There is probably a more appropriate way to do this, but to stop the the lines from draining I used just a bolt (can't remember exact size) two rubber washers, a metal washer, and a nut. I also plugged the calipers with another appropriately sized bolt while they are off. It isn't perfect, but works well enough as a temporary measure to keep the fluid from leaking while they are disconnected. Of course, you'll need to bleed all 4 when done, even if you only do two at a time as I have.

I'm pretty annoyed tired of the low speed brake squeals with the stock pads. Not to mention my wheels are covered in brake dust after a few minutes of driving. With my IS350 they have an updated low dust pads, which helps with the dust and stops the squeals. I do see a set of improved Pads from lexus (via sewell: Part #: 044650W170) when I searched for the Brembo lube. Anyone tried these?
I'd like to keep the stock rotors. Which pads do you guys recommend? I don't track the car, just mostly daily driving and maybe some spirited runs when roads are empty. Low dust would be a plus. Carbotech, stop tech, project mu? I'm ordering the Brembo lube to help ensure less break squeaks.
