Ok so its finally time to change the pads.. and maybe the rotors.. i have 66k miles now.. can i just slap on some new pads or do i need to turn my old rotors..

also debating if i should go:

front and back pads and rotors OEM leuxus for around 475.00 including shipping..

or OEM lexus pads with centric all the way around for 335..00 shipped..

is the 130.00 savings worth it?

I have centric rotors on another car and they rust noticeably faster in winter.

Did you notice any performance issues? do you regret not going OEM?

FYI guys I think this dealer has the best prices on OEM that you will find.. I got front and rear pads and rotors shipped to me for $437.22 Do you all suggest replacing any break hardware?

Just did the rear pads.. those little pesky clips were kind of a pain! also don't forget to disengage you parking break! Also I found that 8MM bolts were very helpful removing the rotor... I noticed the latest pads from Lexus don't have metal shims nor do they have the pre-drilled holes to accept the old shims.. Pretty easy job.. My car is running great again!!!
