StopTech Drilled Rotors & Akebono ProAct Pads
Hi Everyone!
Just ordered these StopTech drilled rotors and will be running the same pads I currently use (Akebono ProAct)
Anyone have experience with these rotors? Good, bad, ugly?
Rotor part #s 128.44138L & 128.44137R
Pads part # ACT1118
Thank you

You can't get performance without dust. So if your pads don't dust, they suck. By definition.
In terms of rotors, installing drilled rotors effectively reduces your rotor size. So you thought you had 13.8" brakes, you now have something like 12.5. It's like installing IS250 rotors or something. I would just go professional stock blanks.

As for the brake pads, I've been using the Akebono's since December and have no complaints, so I'll be using them again. I'm okay losing some performance to gain the ease of cleaning my wheels and not having to wash my car every other day. Sucky works for me I guess

^yeah they're cheap. $55 on ebay. scottsdale lexus or something like that
And yeah the holes essentially decrease the surface area effectively giving you smaller rotors.

MJH09SE,
Did you install these rotors yet? There was a thread on here in which a couple posters said these rotors do not fit AWD F-sport models. It doesn't appear that your car is AWD, but I'm still interested to know if you ran into any issues. I have them as well but I haven't had the time to install them yet. The return period has expired for me, so I'm stuck with them. I bought mine from RockAuto, and the site listed them as being compatible with my vehicle. Other sites said the same, so I figured that they would be fine. I think the poster who stated they did not fit had a Canada spec vehicle, so I'm not sure if that might have been the issue (I don't know if Canada spec vehicles have different measurements).

Thanks for the follow-up. I checked TireRack's site and they now list the rotors that I have as being compatible with RWD F-sport vehicles only. They list a different part number for AWD F-sport vehicles. Before I bought the rotors, I read that the rotors are the same for all F-sport vehicles and the 200t. PartsGeek now also lists a different model number for the AWD variant of the vehicle, so it looks like the parts sites are now updated with the correct information.
I'm glad that I never attempted the installation because I would have taken everything apart for nothing.
Further Information can be found in this thread for anyone who may be interested:
