F-Sport Front Wheels, BRAKE DUST!!
#46
Bendix (the company who makes make of the OEM brakes on the market) has the back ceramic Low Dust brake pads for the REAR WHEEL FSPORT. The part # is 1391. They are working on the fronts but no release date yet. Akebono is also working on a front set but no release date yet.
The front rotor for all GS is a 13.1 inch except the RWD FSport, which uses a 14 in 4-piston rotor.
I have been in contact with every brake manufacturer from Bendix to EBC over the winter waiting for a ceramic low dust pad. It seems Centric, one of the largest OEM brake manufacturers has one out. I have ordered it and received it. I will be putting them on the 2nd week of April and i will let you know if they fit and how it goes.

Finally low dust pad for rwd gs350f!!!!!
SO AFTER TWO YEARS OF WAITING AND JUST IN TIME FOR SPRING THE FRONT AND REAR PADS FROM CENTRIC FIT PERFECTLY!! FINALLY A CERAMIC LOW DUST PAD FOR THE RWD GS350F SPORT!!
ONLY ISSUE IS YOU MUST REPLACE THE ROTORS WITH LEXUS OEM. I TRIED AFTERMARKET AND THEY DIDNT WORK. THE ROTORS ARE A TWO PIECE CONSTRUCTION. BETTER USE THEM TO BE SAFE.
PART # FOR THE PADS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
FRONT: CENTRIC 105.11180 POSI-QUIET CERAMIC
REAR: CENTRIC 105.13911 POSI-QUIET CERAMIC
GOT MINE ON EBAY FOR APPROX $30.00 A SET. AGAIN, THEY FIT REGARDLESS OF WHAT OTHER BRAKE RETAIL COMPUTERS SAY. CENTRIC IS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT DID THE RESEARCH AND PUT THEM ON THE MARKET. OTHER COMPANIES HAVEN'T EVEN GOT OUT OF BED ON THIS ISSUE YET!! CENTRIC IS THE BOMB!!!
HAPPY DRIVING!!

Update: Low dust pads for 2011 fit 2013 f sport rwd!!!
After almost 2 years of research and disgustingly dirty wheels, all the while waiting for a ceramic pad to fit lexus's "so called" new brake pad part number, turns out any pad that fits the 2011 is 350 or the gs 460 or even the gs350 will fit the 2013 rwd f-sport!!
for example:
Ebc red stuff part number dp 31589c d1118 will fit the fronts.
Bendix cq ceramics part number 1586 will fit the fronts.
Akebono proact ceramic part number act1118 will fit the fronts.
Etc etc. Etc
f**'n lexus man! It really bugs me why they would change a part number when the pad is the same part as in previous years!! This stupid logic cost us all a lot of headache and needless wait for a low dust pad.
Anyway, happy shopping.
