Best Rotors for My 2010 LS 460L

Yeah that makes sense.... I usually replace tires when they are just below half- and always pick one of the better ones available. Right now I have Continental "pure contact with ecoplus technonlgy" . Not super happy with them, they came with the car and have only the miles I have driven on them (just over 1000 miles on them and seem to be a "louder" driving tire) so I will be on these for awhile (have had similar on a GS300 SportDesign and never good tread life in my experience). I asked Safro Lexus if they would put different ones on when I purchased the car about a month ago- they said these were some of the best tires available for the car. I tend to agree, but I am a fairly conservative driver and have zero use for this performance tire. I'm probably just too picky though! Thanks for all of your feedback

Has anyone come up with a good recommendation for replacement rotors on a 2010 LS 460L? The best place to buy would be helpful.
Thanks

I haven't bought rotors from them, but I have bought ceramic brake pads for my LS and my wife's Jag. I found the quality of the pads to be very good, and their price and service is excellent -

Go with Centric premium rotors. Can be purchased on Amazon for about $80-$90 each for front and $50 each for the rear. Make sure to get the premium with the painted rotor hats, otherwise you'll get a lot of rusting on your rotor hat and it will look like hell.

I purchased Centric Stop Tech Cryo Drilled and Akebono Ceramic pads. They stop 4,ooo lbs fabulously. Heat & glazing (warp) is no longer the issue.

Where did you order them from and can you list the part numbers for the rotors only. I already have the pads

I ordered the front rotors from tirerack & the rear from partsgeek. The front were in stock and the rears were drop shipped from centric. I went with drilled cryo due to weight and I didn't want to revisit the issue again anytime soon. Further, centric premium disks should be sufficient. Although all my vehicles have cryo drilled disks

Dennis,
I have the Centric 120.44148 Front Brake Rotors on the front with the Akebono (ACT1282) Pro-ACT Disc Brake Pads. The rear stills has the stock rotors and pads. I am very happy with this combination of front rotors and pads. Amazon has them for $66.88. The car stops very linear and smooth!

I'm not sold on the idea of drilled or slotted rotors for this car.

I pulled the trigger this morning. I went with the following combo.
Front: Centric Premium Plain Surface E-Coated CE 120.44148 rotors from Amazon $66.88 each with free shipping
Rear: Centric Premium Plain Surface E-Coated CE 120.44149 rotors from Amazon $39.78 each with free shipping
$213.32 delivered
I already had the Akebono ACT-1282 ceramic pads and the Centric Hardware Kit 117.44085 for the front.
Akebono ACT-1283 ceramic pads and Centric Hardware Kit 117.44086 for the rear.
I had the pads on hand waiting on the rotor decision.
Thanks for all the help.

If your current setup is good, I wouldn't change it. I have 20x10's in the rear and any additional stopping power is appreciated. The drilled rotors have a different feel. Brake fade plagues hot rotors and it doesn't happen with the drilled disks. You get what you pay for; cheap drilled rotors will have a feel and longevity to match their cost . Also, the TireRack markets $4,400 Brembo brakes in two flavors drilled or slotted, but no solid disks.

What I have is warped at 19k miles so it's not that I'm happy with that lol
When you say it has a different feel, can you describe that?
