I'm in the same boat needing rotors and reaching out to some major brake manufacturers and parts suppliers with no luck on aftermarket........yet. They are in the works.

L-SB-0100-16(see attachment below) is the latest Service Bulletin on these and appears they have new part numbers and added shims.They went back to 1 piece rotors.and added a shim between the hub and the knuckle....they are cheaper but more work as the wheel hub has to be removed, at least the first time changing over.

43512-WY010 and 43516-WY020 looks like the new part numbers. Confirm numbers and availabilty with your Lexus dealer of course.

There is another thread on this somewhere on the forum also.....

Does anybody know the torque specs for the caliper bolts? I'm getting a creaking sound when I depress the brake pedal after a complete stop. I resurfaced my OEM rotors and I can only thing that I didn't torque the caliper bolts correctly. I saw a video by Dan on YT and it said 58 lbs and that's what I used.

I did a search and this thread shows 58 ft. lbs:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...que-specs.html

Are the RWD F Sport calipers torqued more ?

Here's another one with the IS350 that seems to have them same brakes as our cars and they say 100 ft lbs.

Cool, thanks for checking. I'm going to get them to 100 lbs and hopefully the creaking noise goes away.

So torqued the caliper bolts to 100 ft lbs and the creaking is still there. :/
So this only leaves the brake pads that I installed causing the creaking? I went back to OEM pads and had to buy a new OEM shins:

It came with 4 metal shims and I installed 1 shim per brake pad. Is that the right way?
