Got the OEM brakes installed not too long ago and they’re definitely worth the install. Two year warranty with them at VW.
toyota uses akebono as an oem manufacturer for most of their brake pads. i run akebonos on my car and they run amazing. akebonos are one of the best ceramic pads imo and they last a long time with no noise and barely any brake dust.
Akebono are the best brake pads, rotors you can get on eBay slotted and drilled for less $200 (front and rear)
I've always used Akebono pads for my E90 and F30. Some say they work as well as OEM but produce less brake dust. I've never had issues with them and happy with performance for daily use.
Looks like a good project. I would be concerned about what you described about the brakes. It could be alot of different things causing that issue.
I run Akebono brake pads, they're great!
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.
Akebono pads are pretty decent if your extremely budget minded ,Im rough on pads and doordash with the car it lasted about 6 months so far only halfway bite on it since purchase
I did not like the Akebono ASPs at all. A distinct lack of bite even after break-in. Went back to stock and all was good.
