For what it's worth, I changed the pads on my 13 350 a couple of weeks ago to the best-level Auto Zone pads. They work fine and are quiet, but the dust - hoo boy! In just a few days, the wheels were FILTHY.

I am thinking of tossing them and getting something else. Any suggestions for the quietest, lowest dust pads out there?

So one would assume the Luxury or base model RC350 does have the same size rotors as the GS.
And all GS model rotors are the same size according to pad fitment charts. ( i.e. F-sport models )

Yes, as long as the GS is not the F-Sport. Some sites I've been to have said the F-sport rotors are bigger.

Carbotech pad offerings are available

Good find. Now if someone would start making replacement 2 piece rotors for the RC 350 F-Sport I can buy a pair of cross-drilled front rotors.

replacement aftermarket 2 piece fronts are available as well, but I don't see cross drilled or slotted just yet

i have to retract my statement, on StopTech's website, they have a part number and picture of a two piece rotor, part number 120.44186 however that apparently is just a place holder should they decide to support and build a two piece rotor in the future, they already have a part number ready to use... sounds pointless to me and quite confusing to any consumer should they ever venture to the same application listings i did but apparently this system works for StopTech.

Where did you see them? If you have a website please post it. Thanks

I know what you mean. I go to other brake sites and the also have the front rotors and part numbers, but they are not available. Go figure.

Racing Brake does offer a true 2 piece rotor solution for the F-Sport model:

Sorry to bring up an old thread but has anyone tried StopTech's front brake pads, Part number : 309.11180? Do they fit the Fsports version?

So what aftermarket brake pads is everyone suggesting for low dust and noise and good stopping performance for 350 F-Sport?
I am reaching the 10k mark but my brakes feel fine but I will find out today if the dealer suggests they need to be replaced.

I'm just going to buy some OE replacements from Lexus and do the install this weekend. For those of you that have replaced your front pads, was there any specific tool required or needed on the F-Sport calipers?

I have been a big fan of Hawk pads. The Hawk street pads will cost about the same as the dealer's OME pads but should last longer, 10 to 15K more, which is great for me as I do my own maintenance. I tried to search for them on TireRack but their website is down at the moment.

Not sure if you got around to doing them but the only thing you really need is something to compress the piston. You can change the brake pads easily without removing the whole caliper. Unfortunately I bought too big of a c clamp and that thing did not work so I hand compressed my pistons (I know terrible but I pulled it off lol)
