Hey everyone I know this has been discussed a few times as I see, but I just want some solid answers from some members with aftermarket rotors and pads. I just reached 60k miles on my GS (I own, not lease lol), and I'm due for new rotors now. I have some friends at the Lexus dealership in Orlando and they told me our GS (13-15) had 2 piece rotors, but Lexus is going back to 1 piece rotors on their GS F-Sport, RC-F and GS-F due to rivets coming loose from driving to hard.
Sooooo;
Anyone running a good set of drilled and slotted rotors? And how much do you like them. And where can I order.
Anyone's input on best pads you've used (low brake dust preferable & not lose braking power).
Thanks for the help everyone!! Love this forum.
How my car sits now: (Comments Welcome) Fuzedone 13 GS-Fsport (16)
Unfortunately, nobody makes 1 pc drilled or slotted front rotors for 2013-2015 rwd F sport. Unless you shell out $$$ and get a BBK. Unless someone is brave enough to put 2016 GS F Sport rwd front rotors on their 2013-2015 F Sports, we're stuck with the OE 2pc rotors from the dealer. Hopefully somebody plays around with that setup soon. As for brake pads, many are switching to ceramics, but keep hearing about them being not as good as stock. For now I'm stock, but will probably play around with other aftermarket pads. For pads, try these sites...Topbrakes.com and Tirerack.com
Another option to consider; is going with a new set of OEM rotors and having them slotted/cross drilled by rotor pros. Biggame did this and it turned out looking really good!

Hopefully someone can some up with something soon. I don't want to spend OEM rotor money if I can get something nicer for about the same price. Any good places where I can find cheaper OEM rotors? Lexus charges an arm, leg and my firstborn child.

Yesss I seen that a few months back. I wonder how they cross drill and slot the rotor, like is it safe, does it stress crack or damage the rotor in any way. Hmmmm if only Biggame would come on my thread and chime in!!! Hopefully he does lol.
