Hi,
I'm having my mechanic replace all four sets of pads and rotors on my 2013 IS250 AWD.
My initial idea was to buy OEM pads from the local dealer, but I needed to save a buck, so I'm going with best quality ceramic aftermarket pads.
Anyone have input on how OEM brake parts compare to premium aftermarket?
I'm a bit tapped because I just back to NJ after living on the mostly-undeveloped and greatly lacking in commerce WA Coast for the last 34 month. Not many good jobs out there!
