Default 2015 RC350 F-Sport Replacement Rotors R1??

I need to replace my front rotors on my 2015 RC350 with F sport package. Has the two piece front rotors. I am wanting to replace with one piece R1 rotors? Is this possible and if so is there any additional parts needs to switch from two piece rotors to single? Also anyone know the Milimeter of the front rotors? My local Lexus dealerships can not answer any of these questions unfortunately. Thanks for any info

I had to do the same luckily I have a buddy of mine who owns a shop and he works with the dealership so he gets me the parts at his rate only charges me for the pieces as to how much he paid and the labor. So instead of paying like 700-800 I paid about $500.00

Did you switch to single piece rotors or stay with two piece?

with the TSB they were replacing the two piece with 1 piece so it can be done. I have F sport package also, and want to add aftermarket single piece rotors instead of oem two piece. Wanting the R1 rotors and pads.

I changed all 4 of mine to one piece power stop rotors with ceramic pads. $350ish for the kit...super easy DIY install. No extra parts needed but I did change my brake lines to stainless steel braided ones while I was down there.

I've used them in the past on other cars,... did you notice a difference going from 2 piece to one??

My dealer checked mine to confirm I already had 1 piece. He mentioned something about a recall or maintenance item for the 2 piece. I don't recall the details. Might be worth checking into.
