Right, so are you saying the 1-piece rotors that are the "fix" for creaky 2-piece rotors are actually just the AWD front rotors?

This has been my assumption which is why I wouldn't consider swapping. Part of my rationale for wanting a RWD F-Sport was for the seemingly upgraded brake components in relation to the AWD models. From an aesthetic POV, the 1-piece rotors look so much cooler, IMO.

Don't really know what the fix is at this time. My 18 RWD doesn't have the problem yet with 3k on it. I switched the front to ceramic pads at 1100 mi.

The replacement diameter is same size according to Lexus.

You are lucky. When I put the window down at low speed braking and over speed bumps you hear a lot clicking and creaking. I wish I didnt have to replace them, but oh well. they also said that the 2-piece don't last a long time.

Update. Finally got my car back after 5 days. They dint wash my car which is good also they changed to the 1 piece rotor and pads. Everything works with no issues now. No more creaking.
