water Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 So im looking for front brake pads for my 2011 is350 f sport, however almost every site i see only lists the is250 i remember reading somewhere that the pads for both models are the same, could anyone confirm? ive decided to go with bendix general ct for around $80. i spend a majority of my time in peak hour traffic so i dont see the point in getting super high performance pads that only work when warmed up + throw out heaps of dust (had ebc green stuff many years ago and had to clean my rims twice a week, not doing that again!) cheers!

I've looked into EBC Red Stuff and not sure which would be better regarding braking, dust minimization and value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilv1004s Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 with the EBC unless you upgrade your rotors to something decent DBA t2 or something i would stick with oem EBC pads on OEM rotors will not be good as they will chew through the rotors being a much harsher material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_ISF Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 https://brakesdirect.com.au/aus/catalogsearch/result/?q=vehicle&make=Lexus&model=IS&generation=XE20%2B%282005-2013%29&submodel=IS350%2B%28including%2BF%2BSport%29 This is filtered to show options for the IS350. I have had good experience with Remsa and the Bremtec Euroline pads so i wouldnt have any problem recommending either of those brands. I currently have the Bremtec's fitted to my ISF as well as my wifes Audi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
