yes they will. the brembo rotors should replace the OEM units with no issues. it's ideal to get new pads to use with new/resurfaced rotors.

If your looking for a good performance pad, EBC makes some really nice stuff.

I've been researching this topic. I've heard good things about Akebono ceramic brake rotors.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls460-ls460l-and-ls600h/598359-superb-low-price-on-akebono-ceramic-brake-pads.html?styleid=15

Just ordered some. Best place to buy them.

brake pad wear sensor/ amazon carries them as well I went with Beck Arnley. If yours haven't been activated I wouldn't worry about it. I only mentioned them in case you wanted to replace yours. The part # I found on there for your car is Raybestos brand EWS107 (R)/ EWS106(F).
