Are these rear rotors of the type with parking brake bands inside the hub and brake pads on the disk? If so that can explain the price difference.

 

That's actually a pic of the front rotors. The parking brake is connected to the rear caliper, nothing you have to mess with changing the rear rotor.

 

You're right. His explanation makes absolutely no sense.

 

How much are the FSport front 2-piece rotors? I thought they're like 300 bucks each.

 

The two piece f-sport rotor is $210 plus shipping at discount parts monster, but yes msrp is $310. You can save a lot of coin by opting for the one piece instead. They had a TSB for the clicking 2 piece rotors and dealer solution was to replace with one piece, but they still sell the 2 piece so I guess they fixed that issue.

I don't think there is any real world street performance difference between the two, mostly for looks.

 

whats the benefit of the two piece rotor?

 

Heat reduction and less weight, but in real world driving doesn't make any significant difference. You'll only get the real benefit on a racetrack from the constant heavy braking. For street cars it's mostly for looks. On the f-sport you end up paying 3x more for oem 2 piece rotor over one piece, not worth it imo.

 

 

But it's a race car!!!!!!!!!!

 

GS F is a race car, F Sport is base GS with Race Inspired Lipstick

 

Your comment makes me wonder just how many GS 350 F-Sport models (that have been made and shipped worldwide) have ever seen the track surface of a road course race track. I wonder how many zeros to the right of the decimal point there would need to be in that percentage figure. 0.0000000?%

 

Mine will never see or be anywhere near a race track! I just got my windshield replaced and I'm keeping it clean.

 

 

ItzFilyO - I didn't know that you replaced the windshield in your 2019 GS. Did you have a rock crack it? Hope no damage was done to the body or paint...

 

Yea I was driving and I heard a loud pop and it cracked right away.

Normally when I get hit, it just chipped off the glass here and there but not this time. The point of impact was on the upper side of the windshield near the roof. It chipped the surface a little and it cracked all the way up to the top end of the windshield and goes down to the middle passing the rear view mirror. It kept spreading to almost across the windshield the next day and I couldn't take it anymore and drove to the dealer and have it replaced. I don't see any damage to the paint so it must went straight to the glass. Lucky me! The glass had some chips already anyway.

Costed me $2,227 to replace with the OEM "Lexus" glass including the calibration for the driver assist. Insurance paid all minus $500 deductible.
