there are quite a few aftermarket ones for different scenarios such as track, street, etc., I suggest you google it and see what comes up and read reviews on them.

I am completely fed up with Lexus brakes. So after the service bulletin on the over dusty brakes, i swapped to there so called " low brake dust brake set?" i still had more break dust!.. I took another route and tried some aftermarket brakes. I'm currently using EBC Red Stuff and must say I love it.. It states that there is a break in period, but once that pass. its really sticky! .. i need to up my rotors on my next brake swap. ..but i'm going to throw my 2 cents about EBC. i love um so far.. but many different users have different opinions. Hope this helps on your brake search journey.

Ebc red stuff is a BIG NO NO, those brakes are crap. They eat the rotors i warped 2 sets of rotors within 8k miles. They are less dusty and they don't squeak but thats it. I highly suggest low dust oem or akebono brake pads. I had all three and right now i am using oem low dust, i just prefer oem.

Thanks guys for the positive feedback..
Omg my pads were damn near down to the metal. Advanced auto parts sell them but out of stock will pick up on Monday.
Ran to autozone and got duralast gold $59 for now.

Wish they made hawk hps for the fronts. I have always used hawk hps on my vehicles with great results. They make hawk hps for the rear. I don't know why they don't have them for the front...

You should get the Duralast Gold C-Max from Autozone. Don't buy the Duralast gold since it's mediacore. I put on C-Max pads for almost a year and I'm happy with the results. No squeals, dust, and life time warranty. You can bring the old pads to Autozone and swap for new ones.
