I have a 2014 FSport.
I have powerstop drilled/slotted rotors and the carbon fiber pads. They are pretty quiet and dust free. Only time the squeal is if the car had sat for a week or so.
They did require me to bed them but that was no big deal.

My experience with modern Toyota rotors has been less than stellar. My 2007 Camry XLE and later my 2014 Avalon Limited all experienced horrible rotor warping on OEM parts. I ended up replacing the rotors with Centric Cryo-treated rotors and EBC red pads and that solved it permanently. I have no idea what I'll see in my 2013 LS460 when it gets here tomorrow but if there's any sign of vibration that's the combo I'll be going with again. OEM rotors are garbage.

Agreed - Mine were horribly warped (the fronts) at 13,800 miles, when I bought it. I pulled them and had them cut ($10 each). Was great for a while. They're not nearly as bad now, but getting annoying. At 43k miles. I take it easy on brakes. But will do the nice Centric rotors when I replace them (soon).

I ordered them from two places
Back from https://www.jcwhitney.com/, there is always a 20% off coupon floating around. No shipping and no tax.
For the front I got the Z23-1440 from Brakeguys.com. They were the only place I could find that sold them at the time.

Oddly enough, the OEM rotors on my 2017 have been great. I'm at 15k miles and by this time the rotors on my 2015 were totally warped.

What about the rotors? Just need the fronts. Don't want to go cross drilled as it won't match the back. Doesn't need to be replaced yet.

It has been about 18 months and 28K miles since I put on new Centric rotors and ceramic posi-quiet brake pads. I have noticed squealing in reverse for the past month. The noise only occurs in reverse. I have not had a chance to take a closer look nor ask my mechanic about it. What is a squeal during reverse usually indicative of?

I replaced all pads and rotors on my 08 with PowerSport brand I bought on Amazon. Took a risk buying some cheap stuff but the reviews were solid and I'm glad I went this route. Everything was great quality, brakes feel perfect with no noise or issues.

Update:
I ordered my parts through Rock Auto. Total bill was 266 bucks for all four wheels inc shipping. I also ordered a hardware kit for 20 bucks on Ebay.
Centric Premium rotors - treated
Centric Posi-quiet premium pads
As much as I wanted the drilled rotors for looks, my research dissuaded me from doing so. Noise, no matter how subtle, scared me off. Maybe next time.

@FatherTo1 hey did you figure out what caused the noise only when reversing? I am having the same problem with my '15 F-sport.
