I don't trust those cross-drilled rotor things. As long as it's not a big name expensive rotor like Brembo and such I will stick to stock ones. Besides those tiny brakes on my car with drilled rotors will look pretty rice to say the least.

Not true....many aftermarket drilled rotors are way more prone to cracking....that's a result of the drilling process. That's why Porsche uses 'cast in holes' on their 'drilled rotors', to eliminate stress risers.

Stick with OEM Toyota pads and rotors and you'll have no suprises.

Carson Toyota in So Cal has great prices (wholesale) on Lexus parts.
