UPDATE: Dealership noticed the hesitation in my voice so they called me back and decided to throw in both front rotors for free (just paying labor) but they said its not going to be the 2pc but instead an upgraded new 1 pc rotor and i should have my GS back by saturday. also got the sunroof and the mouse tracker fixed under warranty while its there

Someone mentioned the 1pc eventually will squeal really bad. So he switch back to 2pc. Just FYI

damn. I'm gonna run these until they start then I'll swap out to the power stop rotors since I already ordered those.

thanks for the heads up.

Well if they're throwing in the rotors for free, take them. Squealing is related to pads you use or lack of lube. I just switch front pads to Akebono, like them a lot no squealing at all. Centric ceramic pads I had before squeal horribly. Try the Akebono.

any benefits/drawbacks?

Lexus Parts Now has the genuine rotors for $236 each. Still pretty pricey.

I prefer the genuine Lexus rotors with TOMs Racing brake pads.

ah ok didnt realize you were awd. i appreciate the input!

Did you end up rolling with the Powerstop rotors for your Lexus? If so, did they squeal at all with your brake pads? I'm considering Powerstop for my front rotor replacement.
