I need a set of new front rotors and pads and I was wondering where the best place to buy them from was. I've looked at IronToad.com and R1Brakes and R1 is much cheaper but its also their brand so I dont know how quality it would be. Also, do I definitely need to buy the sensor wire as well?

I have rarely found anyone cheaper on OEM parts than forum sponsor http://lexus.sewellparts.com/ . Register with your Clublexus member name. And Sewell hasn't played games on shipping/handling costs to jack up prices like some other online Lexus parts sellers do.

A new brake wear sensor is needed only when the "BRAKE WEAR" message displays in the dash cluster and even then a brake sensor can sometimes be repaired and used again.

LS400/430 OEM front brake rotors can still be within specification at well over 200,000 miles even when machined with each pad change.

As I posted recently in another thread, I determined long ago that the least expensive way to go is to wait until the brake wear indicator causes a warning on a dash before doing or having a brake job done. Even when a visual inspection of a brake wear indicator seems to show it is close to hitting, there are often many thousands of miles left.

The problem is one of my rotors is warped so I need new rotors and pads but the light hasnt come on yet so I guess I could salvage the sensors then.
