Default brake pads for my 05 is 300

my pads are getting low and know that only certain brake pads can be used on the car. are the OEM ones the only ones i can go with? the factory is telling me that the car can only use lexus brake pads which seems crazy.

what are some good ones everyone is using or should i just stick with OEM so they fit properly?

OEM are the best with OEM parts. If your modded like SS brake lines, aftermarket drilled slotted rotors than i'd say ebc red stuff or hawks hps pads are good. That's my experience and i'm happy with it.

I'd go with Hawk HPS and Centric blank rotors. They are a pretty good combination and extremely low brake dust.
