Default Brakes

Hello everyone ,
i have a 2017 Lexus IS 300 F sport that I will be having for another 10 months before my lease is up. Currently my brakes are horrible, they scrape everytime I get to s complete stop and have to change my front brakes and rotors. Does anyone have cheaper alternative or heard of Hart brakes brand . I have seen them come up a lot and they have great prices (140 for 4 brake pads and 2 rotors) but I am a bit hesitant . Thank you in advance

Buy Centric rotors and Akebono brake pads. Both are cheap, good, and you can get them off Amazon.

And I would double check to see if you really need to change the rotors. Likely it is just the pads which will save you money and effort.

I went with Meyle rotors (they're a popular brand in the german community). I'd consider them on top of all those generic names you see at autozone and rockauto (such as the brand recommended above) but below OEM. But still acceptable. Used to run them on my M3s. good bang for the buck. And they're priced crazily on ebay. I mean CRAZY cheap.

And go with professional OEM (german) pads from ebay too. and you're set!

Sorry never heard.
Zimmermann,Brembo,Ate,Herth und Buss,Bosch are well known and trusted brands.
And believe me, Germans don’t go cheap on brakes. Higher speed needs better brakes
