Hello,
I own lexus gs450h, 2012-05 one of the first models of new generation, eu version.
The time has come to replace the front brakes and I am wondering what are your experiences with various brands.
In the back I currently have ATE discs and brake pads, but I am not to happy with them, I know that car is mainly stopped by front, but new discs and pads should give you the feeling of more control, but ate didn't so I will avoid them in the front.
For the front lexus suggest me these, as they claim I need the f-sport version.
43512-53050
43516-53030
But they are crazy expensive, 1000k eur for both of them. Also discs that I had before sometimes squealed, lexus told me it's because they get covered in dust and needs to be constantly cleaned for 80 eur.
So coming back to the point, what brakes do you guys suggest to use for this model? How do you search for the breaks for you gs?
For example in this thread everyone is suggesting to avoid anything aftermarket https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-rotors-5.html

Hey, sadly I didn't find any information on cheaper alternative, IIRC the final price just for the brake discs was around 600 eur.
However in my case during the inspection it turned our that last owner already swapped the supports to non f version therefore I was able to use regular discs which was at least half the price for zimmerman discs and pads
