Crazy question (I don't have an fsport): I just replaced my front pads, and they did not come with a teflon/steel anti-squeal shim kit (separate part), had to reuse the originals and my own graphite grease.

Do the fsport pads have shim kits? Would it make any difference?

just a quick follow up on this. The f sport RWD rotors are listed as available with pricing ($210/pair for the front). Has anyone ordered these? Not sure if this is a viable alternative to the OEM product.

Thanks in advance!!

He is not referring to EBC, but rather Brake Performance brakes.

My apologies as this may have been a little confusing. JaxNole is correct, I am referring to the 'Brake Performance' Rotors. Has anyone tried them??

Still waiting on my EBCs that I ordered at the end of April. When I call, they keep telling me "in a week or 2". And it looks like other online stores keep pushing their ship dates back.

I called Brake Performance, and he said all their rotors are done to order. 2-3 business days to machine, and 2 business days for shipping(to NorCal).

I also called because I wanted to confirm that the rotors they sell for the RWD FSport are 14in. Paul(guy who answered the phone) said they were.

Ill probably go ahead and order these tomorrow.

highly doubt they’re a 2 piece, probably cast 1 piece steel. Wish I could get some slotted for this car!

I have a set of drilled rotors coming from stoptech soon https://www.zeckhausen.com/catalog/i...4173_5661_5663
i'll post up some reviews.

someone here can try out the centric c-tek rotors. they're basically china OEM blanks. as good as blanks from your local autoshop.

Hey guys,

I have 2014 GS 350 F Sport and in need of some front rotors. Since it is 2pc from factory. Have some questions on brands and part specs.

Questions from this post:
1. EBC 2pc or 1pc - Has anyone fitted these on their own car?
2. http://brakeperformance.com/brake-ro...nc-coating.php - are these 2pc or 1pc- Has anyone fitted these on their car?
3. Is OEM better than the 2 above?

Trying to buy quality parts, but in means of a budget.

Thanks in advance!
