Decided to buy new breake pads
Lexus dealer price too expensive !
But the price from brembo company is different
About $122.31 for rear and front
So do you think the quality from lexus dealer is same that which come from brembo or there is something different !
that different price make me confused
Just to clear things up for you brembo does not make brake pads. Just because it says brembo doesn’t mean they do. OEM pads or not they are not brembo brake pads. Same goes for CNN just in case you believe everything they say on their as well.
The OEM pads are Jurid. In later years, Lexus had Brembo stencil their name on them, but the backing plates still were stamped Jurid. Funny enough, they don't show an IS F application if you use their part finder.
Granted all the manufacturers measure coefficient of friction differently, I thought the Winmax pads seemed a bit low and based on that I couldn’t tell if I needed W3 or W4. I currently have Porterfield R4S front and rear, but don’t care for how much pedal modulation there is. Great for racing, but I miss the initial bite of other pad compounds I’ve tried on other cars (namely Ferodo DS2500). Will likely get Endless MX-72/Plus based on reviews I read.

I’ve try only w2 and w3s . With my car being supercharged I like the w2 better, w3s are little squealy lol
Read the link I posted above. Ferodo DS2500 is available for the front calipers on the ISF. I ran them on my ISF along with PM in the back. The Ferodos are a great pad

Ferodo only having front fitment DS2500 is how I ended up with the Porterfields. I saw the combo you’re talking about at SpeedFreaks, but their pricing is proud and PMu’s US distributor (Mackin Ind.) doesn’t even carry the HC+800 for our rear fitment anymore. I can find the Endless pads for within $75 of the DS2500/PMu combo and that’s honestly a superior compound for my idiosyncrasies.
I do love the DS2500, though their dust is particularly sticky IMO.
