its not hard to install.
If you plan to bring your car to track use slotted but prepare to change pads approx. every once a year.
If you don't plan to bring your car to track and want long pad life use blank rotors.
if you don't plan to bring your car to track, want a cool look and don't care about pad life use cross drills.

Is that true?
If anyone has used them can you provide me a part number please!

Hoping to use OEM pads to resolve the issue. I don't track the car so losing a few feet of stopping distance is ok for me.

The dealer knows nothing or just want you to buy pads from them.
I am using EBC yellow stuff on my F Sport.
Brake application 14+ is the same as 06-13.

Yup, that was the same reply I got from my dealer. I wanted to also switch to low dust but they said they only had the F sport option.

How is the performance on the non f sport pads vs the f sport? If it is not big, I will order from lparts today.

let me know, appreciate all the feedback!

Akeobono Ceramic pads are the -ish seriously. after 20k miles on two f sport pads, i'm done with them and throwing in the towel. the Akeobonos are amazing. been about 4 weeks and 400 miles 500 later and there is a the slightest thin layer of brake dust.. love them!

I know Akebono is the largest supplier of oem pads, and i'm sure lexus just rebranded them or what not, i've just never seen lexus stating they use akebono brakes, thats all.
