I also put on new brakes and rotors on the front.
Lexus LS parts reviews
The previous owners kept the brakes flushed and the oil changed right on schedule. It had a water pump at replaced at 70k, spark plugs at 60k(getting time for that again), and the normal 80k service with the rear end inspected and new fluid. It has some Michelin Pilots with most of the tread left.
A friend uses a set for snow tires on his Lexus LS. He had Blizzaks prior. His only complaint is that they are getting pretty noisy as they wear down. Otherwise he likes them.
Rockauto sells I believe Centric rotors which have good reviews on the various LS forums I've seen, and they're cheap!
But I would do a Lexus and go the extra mile for the Toyota OEM TKT Aisin kits for timing belt/pump/tensioner replacement.
Just an FYI. I just did the brakes and rotors on my LS430. Brake pads are the easiest job ever did. it's just a pin and a clip. Rotors require removing 4 bolts and replacing them as they are drop bolts. Still easiest brake job I have done on a car and I did for around I think 400 with OEM parts
Gabriel/Quick Struts are junk. Rides like shit, noisy, every time. If you were putting them on an old clapped out civic or something I’d say go for it, but definitely not on your Lexus.
