Rears are same as usual non F model. OEM pads and rotors are advised! If you feel adventurous go with Z23 powerstops.
PM me your vin if you want part numbers.

I purchased the rotors and brake pads already. Advance auto had “platinum” rotors specific to this model and “platinum“ ceramic pads that were also specific to this model.
Should I return them and just take it to the stealer I mean dealer.
The dealer (I called ahead of time to make sure the parts were IN STOCK) said they didn’t have them and would “use an aftermarket equivalent”

Up to you ultimately. Me? I only use what's best for my baby. If you go OEM you can always use parts.lexus.com to find a better dealer.

That was the original plan but the dealer doesn’t have the oem parts in stuck.
Mine is the longer version of the ls460 f sport.
Why would the brakes/rotors be any different than other models? That’s a bit odd.
I wanted to go ceramic due to the ridiculous amount of brake dust on my black wheels.

I'm using R1 concepts rotors & Z23 ceramic pads on my '13 Fsport. This is my 3rd car using R1 rotors & have zero complaints!

Yes, DEF go w/ ceramic pads to reduce brake dust on the front wheels!

The front rotors & pads on F sport models are different from non F sports because they're larger Brembos. Not sure about the rears.

You have a Crafted Line 460 congrats, I think they only made that model in 2015.
It is an f sport also but like a special edition

OE rotors are known to warp, pick a good aftermarket unit
