Default 2013 LS 460 AWD brake job

Finally got a chance to replace the rotors and pads. The hardest part was looking for the spots to jack up the car. Haha

Took about 5 hours total.

Will take the car out tomorrow to test the new brakes.

From tofuprod:
You can find them on CarID, RockAuto or Amazon, all with the appropriate part numbers for our AWD platforms:

Premium Centric Rotor numbers (for all four corners):
120.44150
120.44151
120.44152
120.44153

Posi-Quiet pads (one part number is for the fronts, left and right, the other is for the rear also, left and right)
Fronts: 105.1282
Rears: 105.1283

The difference is phenomenal. The difference in braking quality is big enough, I'd tell somebody to replace brakes on a brand new one with these lol

I hope so! Thanks for your help!

Your safest bet would be jacking from these areas. For the rears, I jacked on the rubber pucks. You'll see a rubber puck by the rear jack point.

Thanks for the photos. Hope you get all the benefits out of these rotors and pads. I look forward to hearing about your experience with these brakes.

I know the part numbers for these rotors and pads are available on another thread, but if you don't mind, can you please provide them here? Where did you buy them and the price? I will probably have to change my pads and rotors within the next year and I will have my indy shop do it for me with these parts.

Como,
Funny thing, I was just inquiring with Kuhan about this yesterday and the day before.

It seems the F Sport AWD has different part numbers than the ones you posted.

Anyone else here use different rotors with these pads?

Yes I do believe the FSport setup is different due to the larger size over the non-FSport models. Unfortunately I don't have a part number I can reference for you, sorry.

My brake pads is down to 4mm and just hit 92k this week. Wondering if most still uses these (brake pad and rotor combo) or if anyone had experience with the "POWER STOPK5825Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit" which includes brake pads AND rotor.

I saw this on rock auto website. Any advise appreciated.

I'd like to know this as well. My warning light just activated and my original plan was to replace with cryo-treated rotors but they are out of stock everywhere and not coming back out of China until late July or August. That price point on the Z23 package looks good.

I installed the Z23 rotor/pad kit on 4/24/20, and they've been working great thus far. Be sure you break them in exactly as they suggest, and you shouldn't have any issues. I'm very pleased with the wet and dry performance, and they have been super quiet.
