Anyone hear of Brake Performance? They make slotted, cross drilled & slotted, dimple & slotted, and plain rotors for the IS-F.

One thing to ask/consider is if there holes are drilled or cast into the rotors.

I don't know the company but if the price is right it might be worth it to try. They claim they will match prices so I suppose you might get a price match to the Raybestos at $106. Certainly much better than what Lexus charges.

oh my god,i drive like a granny and never ever been to the track. street use only, and do mainly city driving and i just looked at the front pads, and the wear tab is like half of what it is in the rears. i only have freaking 5,400 miles. wth is this b.s piece of crap. how could my pads wear so quickly?
what are you guys using for pads? strickly street use, with no squeal and alot less brake dust? i dont give a crap if they dont perform like stock pads, cause they are just ridiculous.

That's how. If you drove 50/50 in the city/highway, you'd probably get more normal wear. You're driving a 3,800 lb sedan around, it takes quite a bit to stop it... and it isn't like it was set up to get great brake wear.

It's your driving style and how you drive. Do you ride your brakes or a late braker? Your city driving is the culprit for low pad life.
