I ordered and changed rotors and pads for the front brakes. Did not use any shim kit or fitting kit from Lexus.
They have been great for at least 2 years now. I don't know what the fitting kit even comes with.

Most good pads come with the shims already installed don't they?
I went with Raybestos Advanced Technology pads and rotors and am very pleased.
Others use the stock pads and are pleased with those as well.

I re-used my shims they were in perfect condition.
I use the Costco sunshade. Big enough to fill the RX and takes 2 seconds to store. Comes with window shades as well. Fits the side pocket.

I use a retractable sunshade for all my vehicles, because I live in FL year round.
Here's a website of the manufacturer.

Make sure u get the right size. I didn't and getting a replacement was rediculous with these people. It took 2 months. But the quality is good

We have been using a collapsible double round heat shield but we'll switch to the Canvas Works Heatshield (looks like the same thing via that Sewell link) that we use in our other vehicles.
