Need Advice for New Brakes '94 ES300
My front rotors need to be turned and the pads replaced. Should I buy the parts online (please be specific) and then take it to the Dealership? Or should I have a local mechanic do it. I won't the same brakes or similar to what I have now.
Thanks,
JD

You can get OEM brake pads from this Lexus dealer online and save some bucks, rather then buying them from your local Lexus dealer.
Check this out>> http://www.lexus-parts.com/partlist....=52&ModelID=50
It's a fairly simple job, so your local mechanic can install them.

This biggest question is do you want an OEM-type setup or aftermarket? For about $475 I ordered Rotora slotted rotor's F+R and Akebono Ceramics F+R. Streetbeatcustoms.com and tirerack.com helped me out.
