Default Canadian IS250 Rotors replacement

Just need a quick answer.

I have a 2009 Lexus IS250 and i'm a bout to purchase some Centric premium rotors but i'm all confused because some sites specify if its Canadian or US spec.

Is there a difference between 09 is250 US and Can spec rotors? I can't seem to find any info for the life of me

Thanks!

Yes, they are different. 2006-08 are all the same, 09-13 Canadian rotors are the same as the 06-08 ones, 09-13 USA-spec ones are thicker and have directional vanes.

Thanks for the reply!

So if i'm buying rotors for my 09 Is250 I should pick 08 is250 on a US site?

or are they all interchangeable?

If you are buying from a USA-source and they do not have a Canadian-specific choice, order them for a 2008.

Would 09-10 us spec rotors fit an 09 canadian car or are the dimensions way off?

No, they won't fit without changing the caliper.

i bought some napa ultra premium rotors today for my 2009 is250 and they were too thick to even put on my caliper brakcet back on. Can someone point me to the right rotor to get? can i use 06-08 is250 rotors? or canadian spec on 2009?
