Ebc Green Stuff Pads and Rotors
Akebono Ceramic Pads are the default OEM+ option.
Get the best ones out there which is OEM they gave my 15es250 the best miles before replacement which is 125k
You are saving some $$ doing a DIY job...so spend an extra bucks and get the OEM parts or better which would be akebono proact(brake pads around 100$) and advics high carbon rotors(220$) which again is the oem rotors your lexus had.
I use ceramic Akebono pads and have noticed that my tires are much less brown and wheel less dusty than they use to be
I installed the same pads, much better than the OEMs. If you want you also don't have to reinstall the pad clips. The thin brass looking things. Not installing them makes it easier to see your pads and how much meat you have left. Also makes changing pads much quicker. The negative is that you might hear your pads rattle a little at first. I haven't noticed after the first couple of days.
EBC green stuff with EBC sport rotors if I remember correctly. They were easy to install and they've been great for about 5 years now.
I’m running nicer blank rotors with EBC yellowstuff pads currently. It’s super nice when they’re all warmed up, but they are a bit dusty
I call complete bull shit with oem break pads they are trash iv gone Thu!! the red yellow stuff pads yellow is okay… with rotors solid and drilled …… I’m saying this after owning 2 wrx,s and a shit ton of break issues for the best stopping ability and aggressive driving get slotted rotors EBC the best stoping is with out a doubt is the blue stuff pads and a set of Michelin s sport tires the only thing is you will need to do is drain you dot 3 brake fluid and use dot 4 because liquid moly it’s much higher temp boiling point because I do some serious canyon driving and boi do they get hot !!! At night my buddies have told me my rotors are glowing but non of them can stop like me!!! I’m telling you the best part is the break in is quick af and less rotor wear but down side is they get hot oh and get copper seal savers for the bleeers I have yet to set off my ABS from a 90 mph to complete stop slamming on my brakes
I’ll end this on saying absolutely worth the money.
I've had the low dust OEMs before and have Akebono ASPs currently. The biggest difference is the initial bite that you get from OEMs. I started to prefer the lack of intial bite more for daily driving since the stopping power feels more linear with Akebonos unlike OEMs where you barely press it and it feels like you stomped on the brakes which is noticeable in stop-and-go traffic. Also, OEM has brake squeal when they're cold.
I legit just installed the same pads and rotors and the squealing is driving me nuts. It’s only from my passenger side and happens sporadically under light breaking. Everything I have read says it will go away. However I’m at about 400km and it’s still there.
