Do we have any board members that are Lexus techs?

    I bought a GS350F. No issues, I just had a few questions about the F brakes, 14" rotors, and what the minimum thickness was.

      They're great. I went with lexus because of value retention.

        from what I recall, they are not turnable.

          That's one of my questions. They are a two piece rotor, so I wasn't sure.

            when I was at toyota, we didnt even have a brake lathe. We would send rotors to have them turned when we did non-toyota vehicles. At Nissan, we had a lathe and an on car brake lathe for the pathfinder/frontiers since you have to pull the hub to get the rotors off.

              You can turn them, but the majority of the time, they will wear close to minimum spec by the time it needs pads anyway.

                If I can get away with a set of pads that would be great, since rotors are $500.

                  Stop Tech drilled rotors are around 100.00 each on rockauto.com

                  I don't have any personal experience with them, but I've heard they should work just fine.

                    I think those are for the AWD and base models. I didn't see a 14" two piece, or did I miss it? I called rockauto and they were fucking clueless. They should be 355mm, I think they had 340mm or something.

                        My boss got his done at a kwik lube for $450, he said they used OEM rotors and pads. He's not the smartest when it comes to cars, so I cant for sure say he know's what he's talking about.


                        **EDIT**

                        Actually he just text me. He said they put aftermarkets on and they squealed so he went back and made them use OEM and they did. So who knows.

                          I have had mixed results with this, but you can try to get Sewell Dallas to give you the Club Lexus forum discount.

                          It seems like it just depends on who is working the counter on the given day.


                          Edit:

                          https://www.mylparts.com also has them for $240 each with free shipping. Code CL5 should get you %10 off the $240.
