I have a 99 GS3 thats in need of new rotors. Lexus wants about 150 each rotor for the front and about 125 each for the rear or something like that. That is RIDICULOUS considering autozone and many place have rotors for around $50 each. I was wondering if anyone used aftermarket rotors and what are some good ones similar in quality to OEM without the cost of OEM. Thanks CL

i say hit up auto zone my brotha ive used autozone rotos on my honda for years and they work perfectly fine i got my rotors changes over a year ago and i drove that car hard with aggressive braking and the rotors are still good its
not like youre gonna be able to tell the difference between dealer rotors vs autozone/kragen plus they are only 50 bucks

Yea thats tru but ive heard duralast rotors being call dontlast cuz they warp quicker then dealer ones, im just tryna justify why lexus charges 3 times as much, they have to be better in some way lol.

I keep telling everyone... go to www.rockauto.com
They are starting at 21$ each and there are 21 choices to choose from for both front and back combined.. save yourself the headache of overpaying.

RAYBESTOS Part # 96760R More Info Professional Grade; Outside Diameter 12.08" / 5 Bolt Holes....Rear
$28.79


RAYBESTOS Part # 96473R More Info Professional Grade; Outside Diameter 11.65" / 5 Bolt Holes / Vented......Front
$43.79

So for a full set your looking at ~$146.00 with out S/H





And if you are **** about the name brand, they even have stock Brembo's (Sold in packs of 2 @ 80$ each rotor. This set is built for the european market cars, double check if it will work for your american market gs300):

BREMBO Part # 09840210 More Info {#25603, 4351250120}
Front;

+ Sold in packs of 2; Price reflects cost of each individual item, not the pack
$79.89





Let me know if this helps.

dude buying parts from the dealer is like buying food in the mall or at the movies, over priced for no reason at all lol but i say whatever makes you feel at ease go for it oh but i said that to say this "higher prices doesnt always mean higher quality"

I've used akebono ProAct ceramic pads, EBC green stuff(mixed feelings about these..[I think they are unique mixed semi-metallics] won't try again on a luxury car), and a few others I don't remember.


If you are worried about noise, Bendix offers a pad for that as well.
