Default Looking to replace rotors on an 07 IS250 AWD

Any suggestions? Found a set (front and back) from Performance Brakes.. Crossed drilled and slotted and total comes to about $250. Pads are going to be Akebono Ceramics. I am just looking for a decent set that will not brake the bank and is of good quality. Any help will be appreciated. I tried to go on Sewell to see what OEMs cost but could not find them.

Brake Pads from Sewell:

Front:
http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2007/1885.html
$46.84 w/ CL discount
Rear:
http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2007/1892.html
$46.84 w/ CL discount

My opinion, OEM brake pads are the best! Ive been told this by multiple Lexus and non Lexus mechanics.

Assuming you're not buying these for a race track then you don't want slotted (and you never, ever, want drilled unless it's to display at a car show, they're functionally inferior to every other possible choice)

You want blank rotors for normal street use.

First I'd make sure you actually need rotors- depending how you drive and how you've treated the car folks get quite a lot of miles out of a set but dealerships tend to say you need em anytime the pads are low, which just ain't true.

If you do need them, Sewell gets about $190 for a pair of OEM rotors.

Alternatively a pair of Centric/Stoptech Premium blanks for the 250 will probably run around $75-100 and likely work just as well.

I replaced rear ones with rotors from auto zone for $40 a piece. Works well.
