Unhappy Where can I get TRD rotors?

Steve does not have anymore TRD sloted rotors and not planning to get anymore, as I have been told.
I see a lot of slotted rottors on the web but all of them are over $250 for one. Where can I get TRD sloted rotors for my gs300 for a good price?

I believe Longo Lexus carries these rotors.

However, try keyes lexus also as they are the preferred dealers of clublexus.com and you could get a discount

Steve don't carry those anymore? I'm sure you can still order them from him.

well, if all you want is a slotted or cross drilled rotors, you can try Bradi (a branch of Brembo I think), Power slotted rotors, and the others.

RacingAristo is right . . . There are a number of 'aftermarket' sources for rotors (stock and oversize). First off Brembo (to my knowledge) doesn't make an OE size slotted/drilled rotor for Lexus. They do have have a 'plain' rotor. Bradi is an Italian company that could be affilliated with Brembo (dont't know). Baer appears to make a nice package for Lexus as well.

I'm preparing to do brakes on my GS400 in a few weeks. I bought a set of Bradi (fronts) and EMC (rears) that are slotted and crossed drilled from iRotors (Orange County, CA), EBC 'Green Stuff' pads (front & rear) that I bought from Parts Warehouse (Torrance, CA) and I'm awaiting stainless hoses from Steve @ Carson Toyota.

The entire cost for parts should be in the $525 neighborhood. I figure it'll take a day to complete. I've allready painted the rotor 'hats' w/ an silver (aluminium) high temperture paint in an attempt to avoid unsightly rusting. I'll paint the calipers (gloss black) when I have everything torn down.

I'll keep you guys posted of the progress (success and problems) if you wish.

Mr GS400,

$525 for the whole set is not bad! I paid around that price without the SS lines.

$400 was a hell of a deal for all 4 rotors and pads. I also called Carson toyota, and yes, it sounds like they were a special purchase and no plans to do it again

I ended up buying the toyota OE at $125/ea for the rears (mine were warped).

If anyone finds a similar deal on the TRD, let us know!!!
