Default Front Brake Pads IS 300 FSPORT 2017

My car is an F Sport IS 300 year 2017. I need front brake pads. Would it be prudent to go to autozone and buy the front break pads and have someone like jiffy lube install it? Or should I use the dealership for better quality. I dont want to spend more money down the road because I scimped on brake pads by buying them from Autozone? I will be saving around $200 if I buy them from autozone. However I do not want to end up with inferior product? Is there a brake pad yall would recommend from autozone? Please advise.

Are your rotors still good? The Fsport High Friction brake pads wear down the rotors pretty good. Sometimes the rotors can go bad before the pads are down to the minimum.

Many like the Akebono pads as an alternate to the OEM pads.
They produce less dust and perform just as well.
