It’s time for me to replace my rotors and pads. Obviously going OEM will be the most expensive route but willing to do so if necessary. However I’m also open to aftermarket if there are quality options out there at a more affordable price.

Also, are one piece front rotors a direct fit? If so, where can I get them? My GS will never see a track so I hardly think I need the two piece.

Thanks in advance

Please ue the TSB Lexus parts. The low speed squeal can be really difficult to avoid with aftermarket parts.
You do not need the 2 piece rotors.

I'm in the same boat. I need to replace my brakes and rotors. I considered going aftermarket to save some $, but concluded it's not worth it. You can get OEM parts from here cheap: https://www.mylparts.com use code CL5 for 10% off.

On another note, does anyone know what the part numbers are for the OEM front and rear rotors and brake pads?
Are there any aftermarket quality options? I recall bclexus recommending to avoid "sport rotors" for daily use because they need to warm up to be effective and that can pose a safety concern in daily driving.

How many miles have you put on the brake pads/rotors?

I bought oem brake pads last year and was looking to buy the rotors as well since my car is approaching 40k miles. It seemed like everyone was replacing them around that time...
However, I've had no issues with braking and had them checked out last month.
Bought the car with 6mm in the front and 7mm in the back and I've put roughly 5k miles on them.

I would get a digital caliper and measure the rotor thickness. Under a certain point, they need to be replaced. Otherwise turned.
