Not sure why you want to break your front.

FSport = oem rotors, shims, pads.
Non FSport = whatever you want / can afford

Good advice from the above posts.
Regardless of GS model, I would use any good rotor with factory pads and shims.
Lubed properly, of course. These brakes (breaks?) are easy.

And flush that brake fluid.

If only Lexus hadn't screwed up the F Sport front brakes (aka breaks).

Never thought I would say this but....... bring back the Transmission fluid threads instead of these.

Soon I will be starting a thread on how I flushed my washer fluid jug and added new fluid. I hope it doesn't spark a huge debate.

If not OEM, Akebono pads and Centric rotors have always been great for me, never any squeaks or noise.

I went with stoptech slotted rotors ( 126.44204SL and 126.44205SR )with Brembo brakes (P83072N)... I love they way they feel! No squeaking so far!
