Default brake pad question

so I've been looking for brake pads for my car and i just can not figure out if my car has the touring package, sport package etc.. it does come with the 19" touring wheel by the looks of it and does have massive front brakes on the car and a bit smaller on the rear. i just don't want to be stuck buying the wrong brake pads because from what I'm hearing there are 3 different brakes that come with the lexus ls.
VIN of the car is JTHGL46F175018687

the car is from USA and the dealer here can not tell me unless i bring the the car which i just wanted to do myself. any help or links would be appriciated!!!!

here is a link to my other thread of the car https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...new-lexus.html

I went to autozone and they matched mine up. I did that because I couldn't quite figure it out either. I went with a local vendor in case I needed to return them for being the wrong pads. Turned out they were the right ones and been happy since. I'd buy ceramic pads, if I were you. Don't recall the spelling of mine, but it begins with an A. Good luck.
