Thanks.....lou

 

Can you give me a part number for the rear and where is a good place to buy a set of rotors.

 

Both are excellent options that behave very similarly. Unfortunately we have had some some minor fitment issues on a couple batches of the rear IS-F pads (only this specific pad shape for some reason). As a result we have been nudging people towards the Project Mu pads until we can be 100% certain that the issue has been resolved.

*edit*
If you need the links/part numbers:
PROJECT MU NS400 PS4F160 LEXUS IS-F FRONT
PROJECT MU NS400 PS4R106 LEXUS IS-F REAR

 

Edit- nevermind, I found the difference.

Ns400 for street, hc800 for track.

 

^^^^Only because the OP wants street pads.

My personal choice would be Ferodo DS2500 for the front and Project Mu HC+800 for the back. (which is what I have Second choice would be Project Mu HC+800 all the way around.

But, my choices are dual purpose Street/Track pads.

Nice, thank you for the advice.

Note: SpeedFreaks offers a CL discount.

Both Centric and Brembo are good street rotors.

These are what I ended up buying for my sisters IS-F front brake job

I bought the rotors through eBay and pads through Amazon
Amazon had the rotors for cheaper, but back ordered





in retrospect, I wish I went for these instead, would've been 50$ cheaper




Replacing my Project Mu setup

 

What made you decide to go with the hawk pads.

 

Has anyone used the stop tech sport pads and if so what did you think about these pads.

 

I went with the Hawk HPS 5.0 Brake Pads (Front Pads - Full Set, All IS F models, AutoAnything SKU 4215965, Hawk Part Number HB616B.607) for several reasons. 1) Widespread acceptance on many other performance car forums 2) Brand recognition 3) Low Dust 4) Met my performance / price requirements (make sure to use 25% off promo code on product page).

Once bedded in, they have performed great with no noise, low dust, and stock levels of stopping power. They are also fully compatible with the ABS.

 

Thank for the great info.

 

Ok I think it is going to come down to these pads ferodods2500....mu hc+800....mu ns400

 

I've liked DS2500 in every car I've put them in.

 

What is the price of the DS2500 and where can I get them I agree with lou in what he said about these type of cars and the brakes in them and I drive hard really don't care about the brake dust I want the performance end of it ....
