I was shocked when I found that the stock front brake pad from Lexus was an outrageous $480.00!!! Could get them discounted for $360.00 on the internet. Can get TRW pads for $47.00 for the vehicle!
You want to be talking to forum sponsor:

http://speedfreaksusa.com

They are Brake Experts and I buy all my brake needs from them.

AFAIK, the RCF and GSF use the same calipers.

Thanks Lou for your suggestions. Will talk to your source when it comes time to replace the pads. By that time I hope Akebono will have pads for the GS F.

We have been trying to keep quiet until we get closer to having the first batch in hand but we have something in the works for the RC F and GS F guys wanting to greatly reduce dust levels without sacrificing any performance over the stock pads... all for much, much less than the OE pads as well. Those coming from the IS-F world will be familiar with our offering of the Project Mu NS400. They are in production now and should be headed to the US sometime next month

In the mean time we have Endless MX72 compound available which is a good fit for aggressively driven cars who are looking to increase the performance over the stock pads while also reducing dust by ~40%.

Please feel free to give us a call at 1 (888) 263-1842, email matt@speedfreaksusa.com or send me a PM if you would like to chat about either compound in greater detail.

Project Mu is famous for their Honda brake kits, probably will be more good stuff from them.

^^^^Go over to the ISF forum and do a search many members have PM pads. I have their HX+800 pads on the rear of my ISF. GREAT dual purpose pad.
