Are you Rolling 22's on your LS 460?
If so, please post pics and let me know what you have done to eliminate the OEM Brake Dust Issue!
I'm considering the Duralast Ceramic Brakes one of our Club Lexus Brothers has mentioned and tried out, but after I went to go purchase them, one of individuals that works at AutoZone gave me a bit of advice and recommended POSI QUIET. I've done some research and after hearing about how Duralast has done well for some, I was leaning in that direction, but I want to ask others who might have also ran into this issue in the past, to see what where some of the other options available.
I know I want something to eliminate the DUST / ANY NOISE / HEAT ENDURING / and be safe for the 22" inch I plan on buying.
Also, has anyone heard that LS460 Rotors are "SOFT" or softer than domestic rotors. I went by a local brake shop and the owner was trying to sell me new rotors even though my LS only has 14,000 Miles on it, and gave me an explanation that they were "SOFT" and its common to change them out for new ones, vise resurfacing them! WTF?
Any info, help, guidence would be greatly appreciated!!!
P.S. The Owner also called Brembo to ask them about a BBK, and he said they don't make one for our car. I thought they did?

I purchased Axis ceramic pads but never installed them. I heard they wouldn't work perfectly well with the stock rotors and I would need to replace them with ones less susceptible to damage by the "strong" ceramic pads.
The challenge then became what rotors would work for my ceramic pads. The answer still remains to be found.
