SpeedFreaks carries them, but anyone who carries Ferodo should be able to get them. There is only a front pad part number, no rear pad listed.

Speed freaks carries them:

Scroll down to FERODO DS2500 FRP3100H LEXUS IS-F BREMBO 6 PISTON FRONT BRAKE PADS

But, Ferodo does not make pads for the rear. As I indicated earlier, I have the Project Mu HC+800 on the back. They are a great match to the Ferodo's.

And, it's been my experience that yes, both these pads do dust, but they dust less than the OEM pads, and perform so much better plus the feel is excellent.

^^^^That's because Ferodo doesn't make rear pads that fit the ISF. The front pads are not really ISF specific, but are a pad made for the Brembo 6 piston caliper the ISF uses on the front. This pad also fits certain models of Mercedes Benz, Maserati, Shelby Mustang and of course the ISF. Not sure of other fitments.

Let me chime in real quick. Just wanted to say how amazing Matt is from SpeedFreaksUSA. I had read all the brake threads and still needed a little help so I sent him a brief question.. Well he responded with a novel worth of info... Which was fantastic! Even after answering all of my questions, I still was nervous I didn't want to spend $400.00 (for NS400) and not know everything there was about the pad so I gave him a call.. Immediately he was super friendly and I never felt rushed. All in all, I will only buy brakes from SpeedFreaksUSA from now on.. Class act group of guys.
