Default Stoptech slotted rotors!!!

Wanted to get stoptech sloted rotors. im getting them for looks not peformance before i get roasted!Staying away from drilled due to to them being so weak. I called dealer about oem rotors and they want twice the amount for the oem as i can get the stoptech aftermarkets for. does this sound right? i thought it would be the other way around! I am going to use oem pads. does any one know where i can get them cheap? my dealer wants $89 a pair.
thanks for any help

Usually anything OEM is going to cost more just for the pure fact its made by Lexus. I am also interested in switching to slotted or slotted and drilled rotors, but I'm kinda of hesitant to do the increased wear and possibly brake chatter. A good place to look for rotors is on eBay. You can usually find name brand stuff on there. eBay also has a lot of other brands of rotors for cheaper but i question there reliability.

I'd stay away from Ebay when your looking to buy quality rotors. Stick with a trusted online site which is an autorized dealer by Stoptech. If you want the best OEM "blanks", stick with Centric Premium Rotors. If you want slotted, go with Sportstop or Powerslot rotors (both Stoptech/Centric) brands. I just put a set of Powerslot slotted rotors on my car. They front were about $260 a pair and the rears were $180 a pair.

Most people here buy Lexus OEM stuff from Sewell Lexus Online. They're also a sponsored vendor on this forum. Use "clublexus" coupon code for 10% off.

Let me help you with that cause I just bought them for my car.
Cheapest place I found the OEM pads was here (like $47.00 for the front): http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...82&catalogid=0


04465-30410 Brakes - Brake components - Front pads Front pads, is350 2006 - 2007 (These are the dusty/dirty ones. I like these better)

04466-22190 Brakes - Brake components - Rear pads Rear pads, is250, is350 2006 - 2007

Misc parts you may not need but I got anyway (I only used the shims). These are the clips, pins, shims....etc.

04947-50090 Lexus Front Brake Fit Kit

04948-22090 Lexus Rear Brake Fit Kit

04945-22151 Lexus Front Brake Shim Kit

04946-22090 Lexus Rear Brake Shim Kit


For the Centric Rotors I went here:
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php

CENTRIC Part # 12044137
Front Right

CENTRIC Part # 12044138
Front Left

CENTRIC Part # 12044141
Rear; Vented

Ok, I think thats all I got. Good luck

Be careful. The IS350 has separate left and right front rotors and they are also 333mm in dia.
Rock auto has a mistake for the 350 where they show a 296mm front rotor with no mention of whether its left or right. These maybe for the 250 I donno. All I know is that the 350 front rotors are 333mm and rear are vented. The numbers I gave are the ones I bought and are on the car now.

The IS 250 has the same rotors for left and right in the front and are smaller with a SOLID rear rotor. Thats all I know about them sorry.

lexus of westminster sell it for like $60, once you call them and ask them about the price they would tell you 89.99 but tell them $60 at swell and they will do price match.
