Brake Rotors
I've heard of two makers for brake rotors, Bradi and PowerStop. Since I need to replace my brake pads in the next month or so, what would you reccomend as a top quality (but good price) rotors for the SC400?
One more question, where can I buy steel-braided brake lines for the SC? Thanks!

hey i gotta do that for the first time too, get my brake pads replaced as they are worn down and the rotors need to be resurfaced the mechanics at lexus say.
i was wondering if the lexus people will just put on some brakes or can u ask them to put on some performance brakes?

Bradi Rotors: ~270$ all 4 (ebay).
J-Power Rotors: 500$ all 4.
Power Slot Rotors: ~700$ all 4.
Power Stop Rotors: lost the link, but i think around 460$
i haven't done much searching for brake pads, but i'm think of Tom's Racing.

Do these grooved or cross drilled rotors get pressed or turned if warped? Isn't there a special process since, the area is different than just stock rotors?

I just bought some brake pads and rotors today for my Sc300. Although they weren't the one I wanted I still bought them anyway. I was looking to buy StopTech ceramic brake pads and slotted and vented rotors. I was trying to avoid the drilled one because i heard the are prone to cracking. I called a custom shop in New Jersey and they priced it to be $618+ for the slotted rotors and pads. I ended up going to Archer Auto part store and bought some pads and rotors from there. What really was the deciding factor was do I really need all of that stopping power for a car that I haven't done any power upgrades to. Also it wasn't safe for me to ride around with super worn brake pads and warped rotors. I need my car to drive to work and get around with so that was the smartest decision for now. It only costed me $185. I will eventually get the brakes i wanted when i start doing my mods soon. But thats just something to think about.

best thing i did with my brakes on my SC, pulling the front calipers and rotors off of an LS400,
Put the 4 piston calipers up front with blank discs and slotted drilled rotors on the rear, stops on a dime!!
