I got bbk front and rear. Slotted dimple front and drilled rears. No problems here, even in the snow.

Never use drilled rotors..if you want rotors with holes in them get cast rotors

I appreciate your help songoku, but unfortunately r1 does not offer front rotors for GS350 F Sport RWD. By any chance, do you have the same set it up and got a set from them?

I had a full F&R set of eLine drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads on my 2GS, they were pretty good and still going strong with no issues after a few years before I sold the car. They felt pretty much like OEM but with a bit more bite when you first step on the brakes probably because of the the ceramic pads, and the ceramic pads really helped with keeping the brake dust down. The pads and rotors looked to ware pretty evenly as well. However, I never really pushed them to the limit to test them out to see if there was a performance difference vs OEM. From a cosmetic point of view they looked great, always had guys mentioning how the rotors made the car look more aggressive even in just the stock size and OEM calipers.

I currently have their new Geomet High Carbon drilled and slotted kit on the front of my 3GS, but I just had them put in this week so can't really give any feedback on those just yet.

Feel free to PM or email me if you have any questions regarding our brakes! We are also a vendor on this forum so I'm able to honor you your forum price as well. We still don't have replacement front 2-piece rotors for the GS350 RWD F Sport just yet. Hopefully beginning on the new year we will.

I had Brembo cross-drilled rotors on my 1998 and while the dry/hot weather performance in my opinion was better than the stock rotors, I really enjoyed the wet weather performance. Before the Brembo's it seemed that when I would first apply the brakes the car would not have a braking response, it was like a delay in braking. After the Brembo's I would apply the brakes and I get a firm smooth braking response. Those rotors lasted about eight years and I had the fronts trued up twice before they had to be replaced.

I'm looking for another set to install on my 2013, I wonder if the ones available at brakeperformance.com are any good.
