Default Ordered Incorrect Lexus RC350 F-sport Rotors

hey all -

So I ordered a set of rotors/pads from R1 Concepts. They have the option to order rotors for the RC350 WITH the F-sport Package and then some with the Non-Fsport package.

I purchased my 2015 RC350 F-Sport in 2016 with the F-Sport package, it was all in the paperwork..color option..etc.. So when i went over to their website, I ordered a set of R1 Rotors for th F-Sport Package. I received them yesterday and went to a shop to try and get them installed. Unfortunately, the shop showed me the front rotors i received are much bigger than expected. I confirmed with the R1 Concepts too make sure they hadn't sent me RCF rotors. So R1 Concepts confirmed that the front rotors for the F-Sport come in two sizes and they DID send me the correct set of rotors based on my selections on web. But, after confirming with them, my front rotors match the dimensions of a NON-Fsport model. Which too me, that doesn't make any sense. Any who, I paid 130 dollars too ship these back and get a new set of rotors that will hopefully fit my car. Just sharing in case you guys have inputs. I know i should have down my research a bit more but I figured all F-sport models came with the same Rotor size.

DUDE! SAME HERE!!!!! I"m so glad someone has the same issue!

I ordered new drilled and slotted rotors for my RC350 F SPORT. I called and spoke to the sales person who assured me this was a Form Fit Function with the Two piece rotors that come with our F Sport Models. When I went to the shop to install, they told me the rears were fine but the Front was too big almost by an inch. I was so confused as most sites also say that the F Sport Model Rotors are 355mm (14ish Inches) in diameter. My rotor measured at 13.1 inches in diameter. I also asked a buddy of mine if he could measure his rotor off his F Sport RC and his also was 13.1 inches. I believe that R1 Concepts got this wrong. I'm pretty upset now as well. About to put something regarding this info up as well.

MEASURE YOUR ROTOR PRIOR TO BUYING FROM R1. I'm working on them to fix this and will provide updates as the time comes.

But yeah still not happy about the situation.

Also, would like to add that you didn't order the wrong rotors, you were sold the wrong rotors.

If I am correct they are two sizes for the RC350/GS350 front rotors, 13.1in for AWD F-Sport and Non-F-Sport models and 14in for RWD F-Sport so depending on what car you have you need to order that option. I see most of you that received the wrong rotors are in Northern states..Do you all have AWD F-Sports?

So I just went to R1 Concepts website and they do not specify AWD vs RWD Fsport so that is the problem..

You would think that R1 would send you the correct rotors and pay for the return shipping as there website is not correct in specifying models and options.

All RC AWD models have the same rotors, RWD non-F Sport models use the same rotors.

Only RWD RC F-Sport models have the larger 2-piece rotors.
