Choices for Brakes

Did you get both pads and rotors from ebay? How much will the install cost approximately?

ROTORS-Bendix Smooth Steel Rotors
Now a bit of a caveat I bought one for 30 because they didn't have anymore at that price so I had to buy a second for 70 and I think there 70 from now on

I live in las vegas and we have a great shop here called uehara motowerks which does great work and does my front brakes for between 70-100.
Hope this helps, Mike

Any suggestions for rear rotors? The ebay link is only for front. I either need to resurface or replace all 4 rotors. They only have 22K miles on them. Bought my 2010 LWB with 45K and have 67K now. Also, the tires have excessive wear on the inside tread surface. Thanks for any suggestions on rear rotors.

for rear rotors just grab a set of centric rotors off of parts geek or ebay and you should be good. I wouldn't recommend resurfacing the rotors as it makes the already fragile lexus rotors even weaker.

From what I've read and watched, I will need to set them. As in driving 60-70 then braking hard. Need to do it about 10 times. Plan to do it on the interstate from interchange to interchange. I guess this would be like a light turning.

Good to know, thanks. Please post back and let us know how the new rotors and pads work out. I'll probably be right behind you with mine.

[QUOTE=enjo;8587873]Plan to go with Akebono ceramic pads when my time comes[
I will try to post an install video and review on the pads and rotors to help anyone out who wants to DIY.
