Default Got my GS350 AWD Rotors

Got my rotors last week and they look great. We had been searching all over for slotted rotors for the 3GS AWD front and I was able to have a set made by a company out of Cali that works with euro models.







Ill post my impressions once they are installed. Im waiting on a set of Technafit stainless brake lines and will be installing them with Stoptech Performance brake pads. I cant wait since my stock brakes are feeling a bit weak when hot.

cool. Let us know. I will probably be replacing my rotors with aftermarket rotors when they need to be replaced.

Thanks for the update but that last pic while you are holding the rotor looks nothing different from RWD, just by looking at the picture i can tell they won't fit ( i really hope they will). Please keep us updated and please post some pics when installed. Thanks

the rears should fit fine, it should only be the fronts that are different correct?

Yup good idea! My drilled and slotted rotors should be here tomorrow. I have an early dealer visit tomorrow for sqeeling brakes, they might replace my pads which is good for now cause I didn't order any aftermarket ones!

I got my rotors from iRotors

A bbk, in terms of AWD or RWD GS350, shouldnt make any difference. The mounting points are the same for both models front to back. The only difference from what Ive researched rests in the front oem rotors for the AWD, which are barely larger than the RWD (which uses a floating type rotor vs the AWD using a non-floating which is 1-2mm bigger in od and thickness).

How about clearance between AWD hub vs RWD hub? That's the only reason RWD rotor's don't fit on the AWD model's. Whats going on with you're rotor's that you ordered? installed them yet?

Id have to see specs on the rotors for bbk's that are out there but the 2 Ive seen should not be a problem. Sorry not yet, my car is still at the dealership for rattles, hopefully Ill have it back monday-tuesday so I can install them along with the sways and post some pics of them on the car.
