Hi,
it seems that my rear calipers stopped working and needs replacement. The dealership quoted me 250$ for each caliper and i find this very expensive considering the much cheaper options i find online. I have always used oem but now that i need to change calipers, rotors, and pads im thinking to switch an after market brand for all of them at once. Any recommendation? Im looking for something good that won’t introduce any kind of noise!

appreciate any recommendations on brands and locations/website to buy from.

I like rockauto.com and centric or beck/arnley are both good. For the rears make sure to buy the brackets with it, as it will make your life easier instead of trying to free up your old stuck sliders.

Any caliper is going to be rebuilt. So, I like buying from Advance auto because they are local and have tons of coupons. (like 40 off 100) sometimes. They will match RA too. If it ever leaks (I had some do that), they are happy to replace it, and I don't have to mail back leaky calipers.
Any tier one supplier is usually a good choice for pads (from their premium line). Wagner Thermoquiet comes to mind. Cheap pads are noisy.
White Box rotors from the parts store are competitive. If you have the money go with Lexus Parts, but you should be fine either way.

thank you - checked it out. Pricing seems good provided that i send them the old parts! Not sure how much this will cost considering to ship from Canada, where i am.

Thank you - my gs is 2008 model and to spend almost 1200$ to replace calipers, pads and rotors on it is just too much. Thats why im considering after market - as long as they provide good breaking power and dont generate any noise! I cant tolerate noise.

Most aftermarket calipers are OEM refurbs by a 3rd party company, hence why they ask for the core back.

that explains - thank you
