^^^^You make no mention of rotor thickness. Did the dealer measure the rotor thickness? As mentioned in Post #31 the minimum rotor thickness is 31mm. If they measure less less than that, yes you need to replace.

Your quoted price seems high to me.

Dealer just came back to me today with "the rotors measure at 32 and discard is 31. If we resurfaced it would go below spec and you also have slotted rotors and we don't resurface those."

 

^^^^No rotor should be resurfaced. See this thread:

Thank you, that is helpful. I think I may wait for the light to actually come on since I have some brake life left, and will then replace both pads and rotors.

Any other thoughts on the price i was quoted for the replacement? What is reasonable if my quote seemed high?

 

^^^^Can't give you first hand experience since I do my brake service myself, and I don't use OEM pads. Maybe someone else can chime in.

Just food for thought. is anyone considering replacing their rotors with the track edition RCF Rotors? curious to see what the price for those would be. Might do TOMS pads with these rotors... but I only have 11,500 on my '16 GS-F right now.. have a ways to go before that's the case.

 

Good point. Lexus claims those carbon ceramic rotors save 48 lbs vs the regular ones. This is unsprung weight, so a very good upgrade, far better than any wheel upgrades. I’m waiting for those Lexus parts site to release 2020 parts, wanna see how much those would cost.

 

Probably somewhere to the tune of $10,000+

 

I feel that i have to press my brake pedal very hard to get the car to brake hard. I don't know about to the floor, but my harder than my 2010 BMW 550i. I bought the GSF new so I dont think there is anything wrong with it.

 

My exclusive and official Lexus dealer here re-surfaced my rotors. It is a very common practice here.
And I will take their word for it because, for the past 60 years, they have not been in the business of ripping customers off.

I also will not doubt their choices because Toyota chose them as their regional training center for the middle east and north Africa.

 

There's something wrong for sure. While not at the level of a proper track pad, the OEM pads are pretty good and do not require a great force to haul the car down from speed. If you are in the north Atlanta area, I can give you a demonstration.

 

I'm in the Decatur area. I drove a good bit today and you are right. I think iv'e developed a habit of coasting and applying light pressure to brakes when i drive. When I actually did hit them hard today, the car responded well. I realized I had not really been hitting the brakes hard.
