I'm looking for something equal or better than the OEM brakes, what do you recommend?

I checked tirerack.com but they don't have Akebono pads nor Brembo rotors, which is what I was aiming to put. Any input is appreciated!

have you tried rockauto?

No, I was going to call F.C.P. (http://magsandtires.com) in the morning to see what they have.

If it helps anyone, F.C.P. has Akebono rotors and pads for the IS 250 (2011 AWD) at $640 CDN tax included.

Installation with brake servicing is $180 CDN + tax.

Ive heard awesome things about akebobo pads and the wagner thermo quiet pads.

Hi gents
I'm new to this forum . just an opinion with regards to the rotors and pads for GeorgeR.
EBC rotors and EBC greenstuff pads is an excellent combo and is better then OEM. Just my experience.
Far less dust than OEM.
thanks for expert input from other members.

We went with the Akebono pads and rotors. Brakes like it should

I got Brakenetic slotted rotors off ebay for $300 with the painted cooling vains. Looks cool and I can't complain, works like it should. I got these when one of my rotors was warped and opted to replace all 4 myself and ended up spending less money than the dealer wanted for just that one side.

ok cool, as long as you are sorted . thanks for the feedback chriso5573.
