So I am going with Stoptechs as my replacement components. Rotors,Pads and adding the braided lines. I went with there equipment on my IS300 and I was very happy with the performance. Only difference was slotted instead of drilled. I will try and get an install this weekend and give an update on how they perform on the "F"
Cheers,

What brand are those rotors? I wasn't aware the Stoptech made rotors for our cars? Or are these Centric rotors?

AFTER FURTHER REVIEW!
they are Centric rotors, and the pads where Axis on the IS300 so i may be sending these back as i thought that was what was in the package settup. i dont have any history with stoptech pads so im not sure what to expect. anyone have some feedback on them?

haha something like that, we will call this a test. Being in the automotive industrial design field since 04 now with Polaris, my connection base gives me access to alot of "trial" next to nothing prices on alot of things. so ill put these to the test as im not out much. if they work out fine if not ill make another call.

I have the Stoptech pads on the way. I'll be doing Centric rotors as well since oem rotors are just too pricey.

I have read many good reviews on m3 forums about the Stoptech pads so we shall see.

cool, thanks for the heads up. give injected performance a ring. they dont have lexus equipment listed on the site as they are working on the website. but they will get you a great deal on a package.

Raybestos makes them for the front. I just don't know about the quality.

OP: are you installing these yourself?

I am curious to the fit and finish of the brake lines. Had these on the WRX STi and they were good, but the fitment was horrible on my Honda.

Thanks.

Had everything done last monday....fit and finish is perfect. world of diff in braking power. had the lines on my IS300 also with great results. Had the entire Stoptech kit installed by Lexus of Wayzata for under $500.
