Default New Brakes & Rotors for a 2014 GS 350 F Sport?

Guys I have a quote from the local Lexus dealer in Dallas to replace my front rotors and brakes with OEM parts and it came in at $1100! A certified mechanic friend of mine also quoted me $1100 for the OEM brake job. His quote was $400 for aftermarket parts.

Are there any particularly good aftermarket rotors & pads that you'd recommend?? Love to hear your thoughts.

Do not go with aftermarket rotors especially with F Sport. Read the many post on here. Many including myself have major squeals with aftermarket rotors. Go OEM only!! You can find better deals on Ebay for OEM front brake kits from Lexus dealers. Your mechanic should be able to install these under an hour.

Default What size are the front rotors - 2013 GS F Sport RWD

I picked up some cheap rotors from Autozone about a year ago to see it would resolve the brake squeal after shims, compound, new pads didn't work. New rotors did. After bring my car to the dealership to get serviced, they told me the front brake rotors were too small. I ordered Power stop from rock auto, pulled the old rotors off the car and they are the same size! 334mm. I did confirm they are too small though as the pads were not worn evenly. There was about 4mm of unworn material where the pads were not hitting the rotor. Please help. I cannot find anything online with the rotor diameter except some product descriptions saying 334. I am thinking these are the base model rotors and the F sports are bigger?
