Default 08 GS350 rotors! help!

I did a search with no luck...I want to replace my rotors with after market cross-drilled. Not sure what brands are good or best. Links and or pics and costs of what you have done would be awesome...

I don't know which ones are good but ive seen them on ebay. Starting from 350 upwards for all 4 but that was for my brakes on a 07 awd could be different on yours.

I'd go with adam's rotors. They are your choice of custom rotors and they use OEM rotors I got them back when I had my 3GS and they really looked good. www.adamsrotors.com

I found that drive wire.com or rock auto.com have the cheapest prices on rotors. They have ebc, raybestos, centric type rotors on these sites.

When changing rotors.. Would it be smart to go with a better brand of pads?

I just spent 675 for rotors and pads for front and back from adams rotors. They are the double slot with black zinc and black hats. Will be taking pictures of the install when they come in.

Are you keeping the front calipers or going with the monoblock ones from the gs350/430/460?

I was thinking adam's as well but I don't like it when companies dont specify where they get there blanks.. even brakeperformance.com beats around the bush about where they get it. If you have something to hide its usually not good?

I have Rotora Slotted/Drilled on the front, couldn't be happier, especially with EBC pads, the stopping power's amazing!

as for the comment above with EBC rotors, I heard they were pretty much junk. This is from a dealer who was selling them. I believe they cost more than Rotora's and they're thinner rotors than the Rotora discs.

Once again it is what I was told and I should have verified since I had the EBC rotors on me (they were for 05 and under GS models, since I ordered the wrong part).

yeah I heard ebc rotors were a little thinner... but I was reading some info on Rotora and they were getting blanks from centric.... he said something about matching his rotora's rotors serial number on the rotors themselves and it matched up with centric... iono this is what happens when you do research you read everyone's stories...
