Default Brake pads and rotors for 2014 F-sport

I'm in need of new pads and rotors for my 2014 GS350 F-sport (standard RWD, not AWD). I've spent many hours combing through tons of threads using the search function, been to RockAuto, Amazon, etc and a handful of Lexus dealers online. I'm getting very conflicting information as to part numbers for OEM pads and rotors (especially the rotors).

Can someone please post definitive OEM part numbers for F-sport brake pads and rotors? I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, are the majority of you guys using OEM parts or aftermarket parts? If aftermarket, I assume 1pc rotors?

I just did my front rotors on my 2014 GS 350 F Sport RWD last night. I ordered EBC USR slotted rotors (USR7636) from carid.com for $289 shipped. Keep in mind these are not 2 piece like the OEMs but fitment is identical and in a conversation with a StopTech rep, the 2 piece aren't recommended any more due to a 'clicking' sound that can happen.

I called EBC to confirm fitment and installing them last night with new pads was a breeze.

Would love to hear how those EBC rotors are doing in about a month or two. Which pads did you pair with those rotors?

I got Akebono Street Performance pads from tirerack for $60. I did a few hard stops (realized after that, Akebono and EBC don't recommend that, haha) and the initial bite isn't quite as strong as OEM but felt great and got better each time I braked. Both manufactures recommend light braking for the first 500 miles or so, that'll be about a month from now for me but for new pads and rotors for less than the cost of 2 OEM rotors (which I can buy at cost), I am super happy

My local dealer quoted me $380 if they could turn the OEM rotors and replace pads. $700 if they had to replace rotors (not including my parts discount) and I did pads and rotors for $350 (I installed them)

And so far no squeaking, squealing or noises? I must say, if you have found the secret potion/elixir to the aftermarket Fsport brake situation that would be quite the feat. After all the horror stories I read about going aftermarket I had decided to just stick with OEM when it comes time to replace them but your giving me hope...

No noises what so ever! that being said, I only have about 10 miles or so on the new brakes but I figure I would have noticed/heard something already

Wow, that is very encouraging! Please give us an update after a week or two. If all goes smoothly, I will be ordering the same rotor/pad set up for myself.

I am in a similar situation with my 2014 GS350 F-Sport.. CapRpg21 what did you end up doing for your Brake Rotors and Pads? I bought Brembo Pads not knowing about the brake noise issue and now want to figure out if a can purchase new rotors to try and help the noise, but if buying OEM rotors with the Brembo pads will not help I need a Aftermarket brand that will.

Recently gave the RWD F-Sport to a relative to acquire a GSF, this was my setup with minimal brake dust, zero squeaks even in the cold & improved pedal response over the typical spongy feel. Step on the brake even slightly and it reacts instantly after flushing the the brakes and re-bleeding the brake lines with Motul. This is with big/heavy 3-Piece Forged 20x10/11 AG wheels front/rear.

Stoptech Front Drilled/Slotted Rotors
  • Front Left 127.44204L
  • Front Right 127.44205R
Stoptech Rear Drilled/Slotted Rotors
  • Right Rear 127.44189R
  • Left Rear 127.44189L
Stoptech Stainless Steel Brake Lines
  • Front 950.44003
  • Rear 950.44504
Akebono ACT 118 Ceramic Brake Pads. Rear pads are OEM and still have quite a bit of life left.
Motul Dot 3 & 4 Brake Fluid

Yes, initially did it for appearance, but the difference between full surface blanks compared to drilled/slotted or just slotted rotors is not vast even with the lack of surface area. Ordered all the Stoptech parts from Skylar at Wheelwell and he helped me save a bunch of money and assisted with sourcing the correct part numbers. Entire setup was less than $500 with promo codes applied. Highly recommend this setup unless deciding to upgrade to a BBK.
