I’ve got a 2018 AWD 350 F Sport. 50k miles and looking to change my rotors and pads front and back.

I’m thinking about OEM versus Aftermarket. Stop tech, R1 concepts. Not sure exactly. Drilled/slotted.

What’s everyone’s thoughts and experiences?

Thanks

Akebono high performance pads is all I ever use. Use to use Toyota/Lexus only, but they wear way to fast for me. Akebono works better also.

OEM rotors?

I can’t get a straight answer … what is the size of the AWD rotors. 330?

I have a Lux not F Sport, so don't have the F Sport Rotor problems.

OEM all the way. See this recent thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...rotor-kit.html

Most likely, part numbers will be different for your 2018 but the brakes and rotors are essentially unchanged (size, performance, etc.) for all 4th gen GS's. AWD rotors are 13.1".

I ended up going with OEM Front/Rear Rotors + Pads + Shims - Bell Lexus had 17% off and free shipping. $470 for everything.

Parts list for future people -

Good luck!

I just put the R1 Concepts Drilled and Slotted E-Line Rotors on my 2014 GS350 with their Optimum OEP Series Brake Pads.

I love it so far. It's only been a week, still kind of breaking them in.
