Default 3IS brake question

Hi all,

recently just bought a 2017 Lexus IS300 AWD base. I love the way it drives, but brakes are making crazy squeaky noises. I think it’s time for me to change the brakes. Question I had was what is the front brake pads for the base models? Are the F sport pads and the base pads the same thing? I’m very confused as to which pads I need to get. I found the rears but the fronts are confusing me. Could anyone help me with this?

here’s my car



thanks

Not sure I think the calipers are bigger on the f sport maybe just the front. Yours look like this?

This is from the front of a 2020 is 300 f sport

Nice ride!

I wouldn't chuck your brakes just because they're squealing. Did you visually inspect the pads?
