Default IS350 EBC Red Stuff brakes...Where to buy?

I searched and found little info on where to actually buy the pads.


I went to the EBC website and looked at their on-line retailers. The best deal I could find was from http://www.buybrakes.com/ebc/ for $147.88 shipped.

Any suggestions on a better vendor or pricing?

I bought the front and rear Red Stuff pads from these guys.... Fast shipping and the right pads showed up for the best price I could find on the net.

FYI, if brake dust doesn't bother you, go for the Red Suff. If it does, don't get it because it still gives off a lot of brake dust. I'd go for the TSIB from Lexus.

Have about 10k miles on the pads now...


Braking is great. They are more touchy than stock pads were and grip much faster. Stopping power is excellent. Very happy with the performance.

Brake dust is a little on the excessive side. Constant cleaning of the wheels is required but they are not as bad as the stock pads were. They don't dust up quite as fast.


OA I will buy these pads again for sure without hesitation.
