My '13 has a very intermittent squeak whenever I brake, and only lightly and slowly in traffic (again, not all the time) and seems to have a little more of an occurrence when it's cold, but even when it was warmer, it happens time to time.

Sitting at about 45k on the odometer, and being the second owner, I do not believe the car has had the brakes done as of yet and while I know I could glance a little, I am unsure on how quickly this vehicle goes through pads/rotors, though I would be hard pressed it is as much as my s2000.

In any event, if I were to replace the rotors/pads, is there a difference between the AWD and RWD models for our LS (NOT F-Sport)?
I've searched around with no real luck, other than to figure I believe premium centric rotors with posi-quiet pads or akebonos are quite popular by many users here.

I've sourced these off of Amazon, but am unsure if they will fit my '13 AWD?
(any other links would be appreciated too, though I'm a fairly avid shopper on Amazon, haha)

Rotors-
Fronts (per): Rear (per):
Pads-
Fronts (assuming I need to buy 2x, one set for the left, one for the right side??): Rears (assuming I need to buy 2x, one set for the left, one for the right side as well?):

Please chime in, thank you.

I believe rotors may be different. These are what I purchased from CarID back in Jun, they specifically state they are for the AWD model:

^ thank you. What year is your LS (I assume obviously you have the AWD). Any issues with install/post-install?

However, R1 Concepts in this thread:

Has stated AWD and RWD has no difference in rotors for my year..

Getting two different answers.

My buddy has a LS (older year) AWD as well, but said RockAuto has different part numbers between the AWD and RWD platform..

Not a problem. It's a 2010 L AWD and I had no issues at all. I get a little squeek with light pressure in reverse, but otherwise they're phenomenal.

I am the second owner of my 2010 460L AWD, purchased two months ago with 45,000 miles. I had bad brake bite especially when the rotors heated up. Replaced the front and rear rotors, pads and sensors this week . Boy what a difference, glad I did it.

I ended up getting a kit from Centric - Purchased them from Buy Brakes for a total of $530.00. I got the slotted rotors with ceramic pads. Cost me $350.00 for complete install at a local shop. I am very happy with the outcome. These are the same rotors I put on my toyota tundra about 4 years ago and have had zero issues.

Well, finally got around to actually fully inspecting the brakes today (lol)
was changing my oem bulbs out for some Osram CBIs (pretty good improvement, still waiting on the 20-ish hours of burn-in time to see the actual full results and comparison over oem. Have these CBIs also in my s2000, love it, but the LS 460 has a fresnel lens, so I'm sure it'll come into play as well for slight decrease in vividness.

Anyways,
Turns out my pads and rotors are quite literally brand new.. but cannot figure out why it squeals every so often when stopping (in stop and go traffic) or with very light period braking.
At high speeds and such it never squeaks. Doesn't look like anything is caught in the rotor, and at first I thought maybe it was just because it was cold out but not sure. Buddy said it could be just a break-in procedure and some noise happens here and there(??)

Never happened with my other vehicles that even have ceramic pads. I guess time will tell.
