i just think a majority of people stick with oem, but looks like you want aftermarket

Nope. I got Satisfied Ceramic Brake Pads. I couldn't get the TSIB because my brakes were worn to the point, that they were voided..HAHA. Ceramics has much less brake dust. I like them

I believe the OEMs are semi mettalic, doesn't going to ceramic eat away at the rotors faster?

BlackGhost

It depends, if you ride your brakes like a little old lady yes. I had them on my accord and they didnt hardly wear and they were stock rotors. I have them on my Z28 and there is no brake fade either. I would upgrade to the slotted rotors just for better performance.

Ghost you can get them at tirerack.com if you wanted to. Your local autozone should have them too.

I also saw something interesting when i took off my wheels to check why my tires make weird noises. there is a vent the directs air to the front brakes. I wonder if that is why there is so much brake dust coming off of it...

I don't know if Hawk make anything for Lexus, but I have Hawk HPS on my previous VW, it was awesome, minimal brakedust, good stoping power, even at track.

if they carry it, try buying from TireRack, they could charge you duty and brokerage on behalf of UPS and custom, so you pay nothing when it arrives

What is the different between the ceramic and performance

From 1 to 10 where 10 is the best, how do you rate these pads??

I dont know. Check out tirerack.com for some ratings on the brakes. keep in mind most road course or track race cars use ceramic pads.

just go with Akebono brake pads....i replaced mine with it...with 1 week of driving, the brake dust is so minimal that you barely even see it....really recommended if you hate the brake dust on the OEMs...
