I am looking for front brake pads to replace the oem very soon. There are few available pads and wire sensor under rockauto site at a good price. HaS anyone used centric brake pads ? is this good enough for daily commuting compare to oem pads ? Let me know if you have any suggestion for other brands to buy.
Thanks.

I bought those pads but have not installed them. Centric/Stoptech make reasonable gear, some of it for a daily driver, some of it for track use. Centric tends to be daily driver. I would love to tell you how they work, but they have not been installed yet, and won't be for some time as another member sold me his take-offs from replacing the rotors with two piece units and more track oriented pads. That said, they are semi-metallic and rated FE which isn't all bad. My preference is always FF or GG because pads with these codes exhibit more uniform bite across the normal temperature range. But for a daily driver, FE will work fine, and that's what our GS F is - the wife's daily driver. If I put these in and hate them, I'll post up about it, but I doubt that will happen.

I went in on Tuesday to Lexus and told them that my brakes have been squeaking quite a bit and brought up the TSB for the brake issue on our car. 24 hours later...New brakes all around!!! Might not be the particular brand that you're looking for but you really can't beat the price! haha I was impressed with how they hardly questioned anything, especially with having just over 20,000 miles on the car.

I had those TSB pads for a month, stopping distance was significantly degraded over OE Brembo (noisy/dusty). Put Toms and never looked back.

Pads don't change stopping distance. Only feel. If you want to change stopping distance you need better tires. Physics doesn't lie.

^^^^Not on the first stop. But they do on subsequent stops - fade.

Agreed, but if you're using your pads to the fade point, you're not going for the bargain units at all. It's actually pretty challenging to fade these brakes on the street.

I'm running the TSB pads and have been pretty happy with them... Doesn't have the initial bite the original ones had, but stop just fine when you hammer down on the pedal. No noise and less dust. They fit my needs and use of the car...

Ditto. My exact same experience.

I have noticed the brake pads squeak many times. Where can I find the TSB for brake ? I need to print it out and bring it to the dealer. I have the low brake pad waring light come on for couple weeks now.

Ebc Yellowstuff
When I did my Gs-f inspection (10k miles) guys from lexus told me I have to replace brake pads. They proposed a bargain price of around 800$! My pads where close to sensors and they should be done in 1k miles. I am using ebc brakes for many years and I found (in Europe) for 170$!!! Pads for my Gs-f.

They are great better than OE. I choose the Yellowstuff line. Please note they do not come with sensors. So if you are fast enough and save Your sensors You will save few $.Hope will help everybody for better performance Greetings from Poland
P.s will do some photos later look great with my orange callipers
