I second this, i recently changed my rotors and pads about a month ago... Brembo rotors and NS400 pads, very good combo. i bought all my set up at amazon way cheaper than everyone elses. (atleast thats what i think lol)

We do sell both the front and rear pads! We have transferred everything to a new website and it looks like possibly not everything transferred correctly so if you don't see something you want, chances are good that we actually do have it!

We currently have about 15 full sets (front and rear) Project Mu NS400 sitting on the shelf and ready to ship out. Here are the direct links for anyone who is interested.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Matt, thanks for the info... will PM you later when I am getting closer to needing new parts.

Agreed. There may be a meet coming up at Lexus of Rockville soon. Another member is currently on the process of planning it.

Glad to see you going with OEM Rotors, they've really taken some track abuse on my car and where others would say "cracking, fouling of holes", I'm yet to have mushy brake pedal or any problems with the rotors and lately, all my Lexus been seeing is just lots of Track Days, I know this is not a real "Racing" as some would say, I for one don't go to a Track Day to drive casually.

I have ProjectMu 800's on, they are amazing pads and also work well with our OEM rotors. Thanks for the review!

I have these pads, Project Mu NS400. They are very low dust. Pedal feel is good. However, they will fade with multiple hard brakes. Street driving is great, but don't expect them to work like OEM pads once heated.

Running the same combo here too... great pads with little to no noise and FAR less dusting.

Default Just changed my fronts as well

Just wanted to throw in a thumbs up on the pads as well, did my front brake job this weekend as well. The bedding went smooth and they feel great so far. I only did rotors and pads (no change in fluid or brake lines).

I currently have Stop Tech pads with the OEM rotors. The best thing about them is the price. Cost about 1/3 of what oem pads costs. As much or more dust than the oem pads and a bit less stopping power. I'm going with one of Project Mu pads next time. Just haven't decided on which one yet.
