****THEY DIFF.*** The 07 awd and the 07 rwd look the same mounted and to the naked eye (same size, etc...), but they are actually different. The RWD ones mount different to the hub. I actually ordered RWD ones b/c i coundnt find any AWD's slotted, and when they came in and time to mount there was no way they would fit. The inside part of the rotor (the part that attaches to the hub) on the RWD one is not compatible w/ the AWD one. U actually need a special tool the remove the AWD's rotors, when the RWD's ones all u need is a screwdriver...One thing is that i know, the IS 350's rotors ARE compatible w/ the RWD's ones. As for AWD's rotors, only stock/OEM ones available....SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!!!!

yeah, too bad indeed. hey yang, guess you are now SOL. 
my only recommendation now would be to find a shop that can fabricate a set for you (if it is even possible). it would be expensive tho i would think...
