OEM pads and rotors are more than sufficient.

Get the low dust pads.

If you want bigger brakes there are several companies that make them. D2, Rotora, even lexus made a Fsport BBK.

I agree with Getafewliv the stock IS350 brake set up is more than sufficient, Big brake kits are kinda expensive, use the money on other goodies and just upgrade the pads.

If you don't need anything performance, and just looking for an OEM type replacement for daily driving. Then go to Rockauto.com hands down the cheapest source you'll find, just choose a good OE manufacturer.

In my opinion you don't need a brake kit. Yeah they look way nicer but I've pushed my car the best I could and the brakes didn't seem to fade. Just get aftermarket rotors/pads if you want to upgrade the brakes. You can do so much more with the $2k+ most kits cost.

Hey CL,
bringin’ this thread back from the dead. I did do a quick search and didnt immediately see anything: wondering if anyone knows if a Rotora BBK (front, 6 pot) for an IS300 will fit a 2008 IS250? Is it just a matter of fabricating mounting brackets?
not looking from a performance perspective, looking from a tired of wheels being covered in rust bleeding of the stock calipers perspective. A used set came up for a good price.
Thanks in advance!
