Thank you all! I read from the search that tirerack has them but thye are currently out of stock with the rear rotors for AWD. So I will try the sites you mentioned. I already got the Akebono pads from rockauto.

When I checked last year, Brembo does not have a rear application for RX300 AWD. Be careful not to buy Brembo rotors that fits the rear for FWD.
I think Tire Rack does not stock them because they don't exist, let me know if things have changed.

The option at purchase was drilled, slotted or both for that price. I chose drilled only. I have about 600 miles on the combination and couldn't be happier. The Akebonos are dust free, quiet and have great stopping power. The rotors are rock solid and smooth.
One quirk, under spirited braking the rotors sort of "sing", kind of a whirring as the pads go over the holes. Under normal use there's no sound at all but if you're about to crawl up the behind of a Mack truck and really stand on them that little Brembo song reminds you you have holes in your rotors. Don't get me wrong, it's not unpleasant, just different than solid rotors.

Well, I checked speedydynamic's website and it was not functional. The product page is not working. I called the number from the contact page and the number is not working anymore. I also went to buybrakes.com and they don't have Brembo OEM blanks for the 2003 AWD. So I went with Tirerack. The fornt rotors will be shipped soon. The back rotor is backordered but the estimate delivery date is next week. The back rotors are a little pricey at $75, but I have good experience with them on my car so I went ahead and order them.
Yes, vented front and solid rear, I paid 219 for the four. I just checked on eBay and speedydynamic isn't currently selling anything and has acquired 48 negs in the last 12 months (out of a couple thousand deals since 04) and has made his feedback private. I had no trouble with him at all but I want you to have all the information possible to make your decision.

Yeah, I picked the Indiana warehouse (on special order for the rear one) and a tirerack call me within 5 minutes that it would be better for me to switch to the Delaware warehouse since they show arrival date of next week. That was fast customer service.
