2013 Lexus LS 460 F Sport

I have spent the better part of 3 hours searching the forum and the internet for the answer to this question. I noticed my rotors have some grooves in it and I want to get that resolved. My resolution would be to replace the rotors and pads. Now my resolution isn't as simple as I had hope for!!

I would like to replace the rotors with Drilled and Slotted ones and I would like to replace the pads with Ceramic Pads. Has anyone done this? If so, can you point me in the right direction?

I know it has the Brembo Brakes on it and I have found replacement pads, but they are NOT ceramic. Am I chasing my tail and am I stuck with this?

PLEASE HELP.

Check out RockAuto. I see front F Sport drilled and slotted rotors, but none for the back. You should also be able to find ceramic F Sport pads there.

Looking but still worries me and I will be calling them to get EXACT part numbers.

Found these but I am hoping that someone with an F Sport has replaced their factory pads with Ceramic and can give me some tips.

Look into Akebono.

I have looked everywhere I can including their website. No where do I see that they make FRONT brakes for the F Sport. If anyone has any information disputing this, please let me know! :-)

I know there has to be a better option out there. My journey continues.....

What has everyone else with the F Sport option on their LS done regarding brakes??

My indy shop replaced my rotors and pads with TRW ceramics several months ago. They still "dust," but not as much as the OEMs. They squeal only rarely and not loudly. I don't see much difference in braking except that they seem slightly less grabby than the originals.

Contact Carbotech Brake Pads.....I recently replace my front and rear pads on my Lexus LS 460 FSport........less bite....but good stopping power.......also cut down on my brake dust tremendously and no more squeaking when braking. Hope this helps.

What was the cost of these? From what I am seeing, they are the same price if not more than the Slotted and drilled rotors!! UGH!!! :-)
