Default Performance Brake Pads in 3IS Fitment

Hey guys,

I'm hoping you may be able to help out here. I'm new to the Lexus platform (former BMW follower) and I'm having a difficult time finding street/track/race pads that fit the newer generation IS350. Did Lexus carry over the pad dimensions from the previous 2IS? At least the RC350 shares the same calipers front/rear? It seems like there may be a few more options with the RC, but I can barely found anything for the new IS350. I'm hoping there's other options than just EBC and Stop-tech....

Carbotech
Cobalt
Pagid
Performance Friction
Ferodo
Hawk

Does anyone have more information? I would appreciate any insight on the topic. I've tried searching this forum, but it seems like most of the track guys are running IS-F's. Thanks!

Aaron

Just found this thread- We are a large distributor for pretty much everyone on your list and a few more like Project Mu and Endless. I will make some phone calls tomorrow to see who has what available right now and who is willing to play ball and make some more track-focused compounds available for this chassis. You have the standard calipers and not the f-sport version correct?

Update (Sept 2015):

We now have Carbotech pads available in IS350 RWD fitment. Back and forth for 4 months but now they're listed in the product description for those interested. You're welcome

Full range Bobcat to RP2 compounds!
