Ok I've done endless searching on this topic for my GS300 AWD but have some questions I couldn't find answers to.

1. I want to purchase OEM pads and rotors... where's the cheapest place to purchase them?

2. Also... does anyone know the proper torque-specs of the front and rear caliper bolts so that I make sure to tighten them to proper spec?

3. And finally who makes OE pads and rotors on our cars? I think its Akebono for pads but what about our rotors? Check this link out that I found and if anyone can tell me the difference between these akebono pads.. thanx guys!

Pads

I had a stage 2 Stop Tech kit on my G35 that I was very very very happy with. It was stock sized and came with rotors, pads, brake lines. The rotors were slotted AND drilled. I would consider them in the future
