Run the Hawks yellow. Very low dust and no noise. Have them on my M6. Have the reds on my 545 and they squeal in the back. gonna switch to yellows

Whatever you do, stay away from Bosch! I had Bosch rotors put on the front and they warped after six months and caused problems. I ended up buying OEM lexus rotors and haven't had problems. You try to save a few bucks and it ends up costing you more so I say with rotors stick with OEM. For pads, I've used Akebono and they are great. Little to no brake dust and good stopping power!

I second this. I was surprised how affordable Lexus genuine front brakes are for this car.

My second favorite choice is Advics rotors and pads.

This has not been my experience. My Tundra and ES both warped the stock front rotors. I replaced with EBC, rotors and have not had further issues.

I like the Akebono pads: Akebono ASP1222A (front), ASP1212A (rear) Ultra-Premium Ceramic Brake Pads (for my 2011 ES). I like the Ultra-Premium vs the Pro-ACT. They're a little more money, but a little better performance and have a little more longevity. Both are ceramic which results in low dusting. A side benefit of Akebono...THEY'RE MADE IN USA! You can't say that about many products any more.

I just finished turning all four rotors and replacing all pads on my wife's ES a week ago. The rotors weren't warped this time, and weren't damaged in any way, but, I find turning the rotors ensures excellent results. I followed the recommended bedding procedure and after a week of driving--no issues!
