you kinda defeat the purpose of having low dust by getting cross-drilled rotors. if anything get slotted rotors.

I've been pretty happy with the Brembo slotted and EBC pads green pads. The brake dust is minimal but for the upgrade the little extra dust is worth it.. Besides my wheels are always clean LOL..

I replaced the stock Brembo pads on my STi with HAWK HPS pads. My wheels changed colors in less than a week of driving with the Brembo pads. The Hawks were two weeks pushing three.

I don't know if Hawk makes pads for Lexus GS', but they get a thumbs up from me. They also felt like they had the same bite as the OEMs, in my opinion.

Then again, Hawk pads are slightly more performance-oriented.

Hawk pads are pretty good from what i've been told.. A nice upgrade from stock.. I think the Brembos and Hawks should be a good combo..
