It isn't the car, it's the tire. I've been commuting in RWD LSs (first a 460, now a 500) for the last 13 years in Michigan with Bridgestone Blizzaks.
Pros: good for commuting

I use ceramic Akebono pads and have noticed that my tires are much less brown and wheel less dusty than they use to be
Pros: less dust, less brown tires

I used a decent set of coated Raybestos rotors and a set of the most expensive PowerStop pads front and rear on my last brake job on my LS 430 — came from RockAuto. The rotors haven’t warped, the pads are wearing nicely and are no where near as filthy as the Brembo’s I had been using and I can’t tell the difference between this setup and the Lexus parts. No squeaks either!
Pros: no warping, wear nicely, no squeaks
Cons: filthy compared to Brembo
Vehicle:

It's just an insanely great car. Quiet as a tomb, ultra comfortable and smooth, powerful, and great visibility. Unbelievably good headlights that in fact steer. One thing that I find just incredible, having owned many German cars including a Mercedes S Class, is how well it tracks. It literally drives like it's on rails. Has to be one of the greatest highway mile-eaters of all time. Given modern car sizes it's really not all that big. About the size of an E-Class Merc or a new Lexus IS.
Pros: quiet, comfortable, powerful

I currently have OEM rotors and Brembo pads on the car. This bitch stops, but they’re the dustiest brakes i’ve ever had, and I only get about 7 months out of a front and rear set.
Pros: great stopping power
Cons: dusty, short lifespan

I bought a Yuasa battery from AutoPro, and they told me it comes with a 2-year warranty. After about one and a half years, the battery almost completely died. I had it tested and was told it was dead and needed replacement.
Pros: 2-year warranty
Cons: battery almost completely died
Vehicle:
Lexus LS
I would rebuild the struts with new KYB shocks and retain the OEM springs and buy new OEM mounts. I have had terrible luck with quickstruts in a Lexus.
Cons: terrible luck
