I will keep it short as this has been discussed but i am still unsure.
Looking for front/rear brake pads:
1) LOW brake dust
2) Similar OEM pad performance

Current selections from other posts:
1) Project Mu Type NS
2) Evolution Z23 ceramic
3) Toms racing
Just daily driving.

Thank you in advance!

 

Toms Racing or Project Mu!

When I mentioned the excessive squeaking/noise from the stock pads and said I had intentions of switching them out, my service advisor stated that "aftermarket pads will chew up the stock rotors, so you should consider replacing those as well." Curious what anyone's experience has been if you use aftermarket pads (which ones) and if they have caused additional wear & tear on your stock rotors?

 

^^^^You SA was speaking out of his butt. That's quite a blanket statement to cover all 3rd party pads On my ISF I have Ferodo DS2500 in front and PM +800s in back. A great combo IMHO.

My rotors are just fine.

Here is a pic of my setup on my RCF. Love these brakes, so much better than OEM in every way possible. Highly recommend this route.

The Stoptech braided line for the IS fits our cars in case you wanted to match front to back, Part# 950.44504

 

We've got plenty of options for brake upgrades on these cars to fit a wide variety of needs. We are big proponents of Endless MX72 for drivers looking to cut brake dust down from stock but significantly increase performance over the OE pad compound or Project Mu Type NS for most people who daily drive looking to reduce dust.

Here are the full pad sets:
Project Mu Type NS Lexus RC F / GS F Front + Rear CL Package Special (Limited to first 10 sets)
Endless Brake Pads RCP136 MX72 Lexus RC F / GS F Front + Rear CL Package Special

We can also offer complete package deals with pads, rotors, lines, and fluid (or any combination thereof).

I figured that was probably the case, as most SA's I've encountered are full of it, but was looking for feedback from any of y'all that had personal experience with aftermarket pads. Thanks for the confirmation!

 

 

 

Centric/Stoptech pads are stupid cheap and fit these calipers just fine. I wouldn't run them on a car I intended to drive hard, but for the wife's GS F daily driver, they're perfect.

I agree. I have stop techs and they work fine for daily. Good bite but will fade if pushed really hard. For daily or casual canyon driving only.

 

I went with Project Mu type NS from Meraki n Josh. Thank you all for the help!
