RCF discs and pads

[Keith_W]

Hello all, I would be grateful for any pointers regarding replacement RCF discs and pads. Which are the best sellers and what pads would you recommend. I’d also be interested to know if regular motor mechanics would have the equipment to replace them (not sure if special equipment is required from a Lexus dealer) as I wouldn’t do it myself.

I know it’s been mentioned before, but as prices/vendors change I thought I’d raise a recent topic. Thanks in advance.

If you want genuine Lexus parts then lexuspartsdirect.co.uk is probably the best place.

Autodoc.co.uk have brembo discs that are much cheaper, but the finish on the non-friction surface isn't as good so you may want to paint them before putting them on the vehicle.

If you don't track and want less dust / squeal then for pads use EBC Redstuff, for light track then Yellowstuff.

 

No special equipment needed, any mechanic can perform the job.

Yellow are better designed for track and are really really dust, i made the mistake of putting these on a couple of weeks ago and have regretted it ever since ….but are really good at stopping power if you dont mind cleaning your wheels after every drive… which funnily enough i do that anyways even prior to fitting the yellows

I was certainly happy with the Reds on mine. No noise, little dust and for normal road use I didn't really notice any difference from the OEM pads.
