It is about time for me to change my pads and rotors. It is my first time changing my rotors and second time changing my pads. My car currently has around 76k miles. My question is what is the best bang for the buck pad and rotor combo and where I can purchase it. Oem stuff from sewell comes out to about $440 and honestly I don't want to spend that much. Any suggestions?

Centric blanks and the pads of your choosing; depending on whether you want low dust or better bite or looooong life, will depend on the costs of those pads. If you don't care about dust and would like a great all-around pad, might I recommend the StopTech Streets that I currently use on my DD.

I second this.

I would prefer low dust and something that has a decent life. Will probobably go OEM pads.

make sure you order the revised "low dust" versions then. Sewell (vendor) has the distiction on their website. I've seen members order the wrong pads before.

When it comes to ordering replacement parts I always use RockAuto. Sewell is my go-to for genuine Lexus parts though. I would think a good quality aftermarket brake pad would be the best bang for your buck over Lexus pads. Plus, if you search right, RockAuto posts 5% discount codes all the time you could use.

how long do oems last for 40k km?

I just changed from OEM to Stoptech slotted, and akebono brake pads. The akebono pads are virtually dust free compared to geniune lexus pads (even the revised dust ones) and are silent as well

Some people are closer to 50,000km ( about 30,000 mi). I on the other hand am needing them and am at 70,000 miles (112,000 km).

I burnt though a set of OEM pads in one day at the track. Their life all depends on how you use them.
