Default Best source for rotors?

I was wondering where folks buy Lexus rotors at the best price? Thanks.

That’s excellent. I was just going out tomorrow to purchase a pair of front rotors for $300 /piece. Definitely going to look into these.

F sport 2WD 's take 14 inch rotors. EBC is the only one I heard of that sells aftermarket front rotors for them.
For the EBC part numbers.... https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ml#post9999878

Unless you have RWD F-sport 2 piece front rotors, there is no problem going aftermarket.

Don't buy the cheapest rotors especially if you're in the snow belt like me, pick one with coated hats so it doesn't rust out as easily.

While we're on the topic, how many miles should one get out of a set of rotors, I've heard that the pads on the GS wear fast but you can usually repad the brakes and get at least 2 pad intervals out of a set of rotors? Figure 85% highway 15% city type driving. (as an aside, back when I had my Camry LE I got like 65K out of the original rotors and pads!)

Another option is the Lexus factory one piece rotors from L-SB-0100-16 and the ones I bought.They were $377 shipped . Quality rotors and running Akebono ceramic pads for good stopping power,quiet and little to no brake dust.

You might be eligible for free ones if the service bulletin pertains to you.
Here's the service bulletin link in this post. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ml#post9964154
