LOL .... I am here. I don't have a lot of time for Club Lexus, as I'm enjoying riding on my CLEAN LS460 Lumarai wheels, that don't turn BLACK in 50 miles with brake dust ..... and my SUPERIOR stopping power ...... All thanks to my Akebonos (ceramic brake pads).

I am so impressed with all this company provides me, I just contacted them up in Kentucky to see if they had any new products that might possibly help me catch more BASS ! ....... LOL !

See ya @ Mikey Lulejian - Lake Oconee, GA

PS - Unless you NEED new rotors (and with LS460 rotors that's not likely) just stick with your stock rotors

PPS - Adam: Ya oughta consider upgrading your M-B brakes NOW and putting some Akebonos on your CL. I put them on my SL500 and could not be happier. SUPER CLEAN chromed 5-spoke wheels. Simply Lovely.

I would definitely stick with OEM, you'll be much happier. I found out the hard way

Yeah I ended up wasting about $1000 in parts and labor. Brake performance emailed me an advertisement and I replied by asking them to stop soliciting me because I will never buy any more of their parts.
