In June I bought a 2001 ES300 with <25K original miles.
It now has 33K miles and I want to replace the front rotors and pads.
I believe the rears can wait. I've seen the instructions for changing the rotors on this sight - Thanks. Now if someone could recommend where to get the parts I'd be all set. Are there any rotors/pads that are greatly superior to others? I live in the northeast if that makes any difference.

Thank you!

 

Go to http://www.irontoad.com for discounted OEM Lexus parts, including brakes. I myself bought a set of front rotors and brake pads from them for less than $200 shipped. Service was fast and convenient. You won't be disappointed!

 

What about the quailty? Are there better parts out there for not much more money?

 

I got my pads and rotors (front and rear) from www.lexus-parts.com and used the CL member discount. Paid less than $400 for all including shipping (and it was a heavy shipment).

as for quality, danfall4, its the same parts that were on the car. All the stuff is Toyota/Lexus OEM.
