Go to Rockauto.com and look for the Centric line for your year. Start there.
Also, make sure you get the touring set. Bybrakes.com are a little cheaper and carid.com is another place to check.

Sorry, I was looking at my year. For 2010, I don't see touring either. Maybe yours isn't the touring edition. My bad.

He's correct, the issue you mention is an entirely different issue, its the rotors being poorly manufactured and not being true.

Brakes on a car do not get hot enough to "warp" the shape of the rotor.
What’s a good slotted rotor? Does Centric make any?

They're just not necessary, they create noise, reduce pad life.

True, they are not necessary....but then again, all of my vehicles have many parts on them that are not necessary.
This past April, I installed Power Stop drilled and slotted rotors with carbon fiber/ceramic pads. They have been working very well so far and are extremely quiet. The dust is less than the old pads and is finer. Obviously, time will tell how they wear. But so far I'm very pleased with their overall performance, dry and wet.

following. I have the 2014 LS460 AWD. Brought it into Lexus dealer for the latest recall, and of course, they told me my rotors are rusting, and they cannot be cut. even though the Brake pads are new, they are suggesting changing all rotors, brake pads, and Shim kit. Totaling $1500.

I am going to check with my regular mechanic on his opinion. Why cant they cut them? or is that the lin?

If the car has 66K miles, and sits for periods of time, can rust cause long term damage?

It's likely that all the rotors have been resurfaced at least once when the pads were changed. Is the brake service detailed in your service records? I understand it is not advisable to re-cut the rotors but to replace them, so the tech is correct. However, they are overcharging you. Buy the parts and have your indy mechanic do the job. You will save hundreds of dollars. I provided details on the other thread!
