Are you sure you need rotors? The F Sport two-piece rotors are quite expensive.

Of course you can use single-piece cast iron rotors that cost quite a bit less.

Thanks for the links to the pads (nice price btw). My neighbor across the street (who I helped frame and build his 2 story garage 2 years ago when I got laid off) told me he got his car lift installed earlier this year. He told me he I helped him build his garage and I can use his lift and garage any time I want!!! It will be so nice to do a brake job standing up!!!

i would keep your old rotors, i highly doubt they needed replacement. I have cars with 100K+ miles that havent had rotors needing replacement

the one piece rotors work on the F sport?? I've been looking for x-drilled & slotted rotors for this car to no avail. Mainly due to the 2 piece design of the fronts....

Check with your Lexus dealership. They were replacing the two piece design to the 1 piece for people complaining about ticking noise some people face. Not sure what part number it is tho. The 2 piece parts are hella expensive too for just blanks!
