Hey fellas! Both of my girlfriends have ES350's. Ones an 07 and the other one is an 08. I want to know if they use the same brake pads the same year Camry does or is there a difference. IronToad does have good prices on the ES pads but if they use the same as the Toyota ones then why not save a couple of dollars? Also, i have a 05 LS whos brakes pads are the easiest to change in my experience but i would like to know if the ES's are similar or much harder to change out or is there anything special i need to know other than the usual brake change method? Thanks in advance.

Can't do it right now, but an easy way to find out is to go to someone like Napa's website, punch in info from both cars and see what brake pad number it skits out... if they are the same, then viola... now, might be a catch with these... Lexus will all be V6 models with 4 wheel discs, whereas, Candy's might have different brakes between 4 and 6 cylinder, and 4 wheel disc vs drums in the rear...
Brakewarehouse.com has the '08 ES and '08 Camry all models Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic front pads with the same part numbers 105-12950.
The brake pads are the same there.I'd still try a couple of more sites to make sure but they're probably the same.
Thanks guys for your response. But does anybody know how easy they are to accomplish? Anything special I need or are they just like any other brake pad change?
both your girlfriends? sounds complicated...
annnnnyways, change the pads are pretty simple...don't remember anything that was different
Yeah both of them. Go figure! . At least if some acuses me of being in a Lexus with some woman, i can just say: honey they must've saw me with you! lol

Thanks guys! I changed them today and it was a snap. Almost as easy as my LS. But i did notice she needs rotors now. Do they just slide off or is there a hub screw of some sort? I forgot to check.
