Difference between left and right rotor
I know there is a difference with some rotors from driver to passenger side but what about the (front) OEM LS430 rotors ? Reason I ask is that I already placed an order thru sewell for some other parts but forgot to get the rotors.
Now that I went back and added them to my cart they want 40 bux to ship them ! That's insane. I can get OEM rotors from a seller on ebay for 81 bux per rotor shipped so it comes out to 20 bux cheaper. But when you get them from sewell it says "Rotor set includes both left and right rotors " where as the ebay seller does not specify and you just select the quantity you want as seen here :

A little skeptical about buying from a seller with 5 feedback but it is what it is. So are the rotors identical ? And how will I know they are authentic if I get them from the ebay seller ? And while I am making this thread I might as well ask if there is a better option for aftermarket brake pads for around the same price is OEM ? I am gonna get some wheels soon and would like to keep them as clean as possible obviously.

I was in the same boat, I was looking for a rear wheel hub and bearing assembly for left side from ebay and I had the same concern you had. The ebay seller didn't list separate left and right, one Lexus dealer site had a different part number that said "A" in the end for one side and "B" in the end for the other side. Another Lexus dealer site had the same part number for both left and right (4241050010). My local Lexus (DC metro area) stealerships charge way more than what I could find online. South Atlanta Lexus had the same hub for $234, an ebay seller had the same OEM hub for $196, my local stealership wanted $400 some + tax!!
I ended up buying from the cheapest source after sending the ebay seller a note about wanting the left side in case there is a difference. It will arrive tomorrow.
For the rotor I don't see any seprate left and right part for this whole section but I see "FR" in the one part for "Disc" and FR might mean Front Right. If that's the case then I'm not sure why there is no "FL" for front left.

turns out there was no difference between each side. I ordered 2 rotors for 20 bux cheaper then sewell and as it turns out that seller is actually a lexus dealership parts dept in Maryland . I am one state over so I will get my parts within a few days. They do free shipping on everything thru their ebay store and the prices are very good. Now I just need to decide what aftermarket brake pads to get. i want low dust and oem or better quality stopping power
