I have a set of O.E. IS-F brake pads leaving here today headed to Hawk Performance for evaluation and measuring. I will provide updates as we go. Have any of you ever used any of the Hawk products before?

Have heard of them and their reputation. It appears to be pretty good I wouldn't mind using their products/pads for the F

Wow, good to know another pad fits the F giving us more options! Do you have any pics of the pads? cross drilled?

Hey guys I was floored when the guy at the Lexus parts counter told me the price for front pads was over $400. So, I talked to the guys from Chin motorsports and they referred me to Carbotech. They told me if I could send them a set of pads they will make a copy of the backing plates and be able to have them in stock to put any compound we want on them. This will give us another source for pads. So, the F will go on blocks this weekend, and pads will be shipped. Carbotech asked that we refrain from calling or pre-ordering till I have test fit there pads to confirm fitment. I was told 15 days to get backing plates copied and start making them. Then 3-4 days for the compound to be installed I will get back to you when I have more info.

Awesome news. Thanks for taking the initiative to reach out to these companies. Keep us updated

Nightspore, thanks for the write up, it will definitely help those that haven't installed pads before or need a little guidance on the F
