Brakes are one of the easiest places to save money, there are many places that have the parts and they aren't difficult to put on if you are handy or not expensive to get it done if necessary.

Here's a full set on eBay...

Any auto parts store will be a better price than dealer. Try calling all of the parts stores in your area. How many miles are you at that you need front and rear rotors. Are your calipers ok? You don't have to use Lexus rotors but you should maybe stay away from the rock bottom cheapest ones also if you plan on keeping the RX.

Believe it is Centric. They have different quality levels of rotors.

So far I love the IS350C just hit 2k miles I've only had it since the end of November. The 350 has lots of power and runs very good. I can't wait till the weather gets a bit warmer so I can drop the top more often.
