My brakes still have plenty of life left in them, so I don't know when I'll be installing them. If I get impatient I might put them on sooner.

Only a few sets left that's available! Won't be available for another 2-3 months once rotors are out of stock.

43512-WY010 and 43516-WY020 looks like the new part numbers. Confirm numbers and availabilty with your Lexus dealer of course.

There is another thread on this somewhere on the forum also.....

So I recently picked up a RC350 F-Sport that has had the L-SB-0100-16 done to it in the not so recent past. I know this is the GS thread but our F Sport brakes are identical. The car squeals as if it were an RCF and not just the first few stops or when it's cold. It does it at all times. I slapped on a new set of OEM pads to no avail. Even a set of Akebono pads squeal under light and medium pressure. I'm beginning to think it's the single piece replacement rotor that's at fault. Anyone have any luck with quieting down these L-SB-0100-16 single piece rotors?

I'm toying with the idea of placing an order for a set of oem two piece rotors and taking off those wheel hubs to remove the shims to go back to a completely original two piece setup.

Thoughts?

Update: very squeaky when "cold" e.g. backing out of garage. But squeaks are gone by the first stop sign down the block. Don't know if there's a way to address it. Tips welcome!

Probably to the surprise of no one here, these EBC rotors never stopped squealing; in fact, they got much worse. After 5k miles, I couldn’t take it anymore so bit the bullet and installed new OEM rotors and brakes. Squeals gone, and blood pressure back to normal.

I believe rotors are the cause of the problem. Just changed brake pads to non-OEM. Still get a squeal during initial braking in the morning.

it's the pad that squeal. you just have to lube all the contact point except where the pad touches the rotor...that solved my squeaks. 2 piece oem + oem pads. front rotors changed at 90k...rear is still intact. changed front pads 3 times, none in the rear. changed front rotors once, none for rears. - just extra info

Initially EBC rotors and OEM pads. Slight squeal at first and it got progressively worse. After switching to OEM rotors and pads, no squeal.

I just replaced my oe F-Sport pads with Auto Zone Ceramic pads & oe design hardware at 32K miles. $85 + tax, lifetime guaranty free replacement of parts. Very quiet but initial bite is lighter than OE & never grabs like OE pads. OE rotors have about 1/8" lip wear. I'm anticipating 30K miles with these pads & half as much wear on the rotors.

decided to replace my rotors with OE two piece, and also replaced the pads of course (OE as well).
used the lube that came with the pads and applied it to the backs of the shims per instruction and no squeaks!

now what do I do with the old rotors...

zeckhausen.com just listed stoptech sport drilled and slotted rotors. I just order a set for $92 each. They also have some blank c-tek models ($57 each).
