2015-2022 RC350 F-Sport Front Brake Pads and Rotors  

Yes sir! Thank you!

Welcome to the Lexus team! Thanks for watching the videos. I got a few non sped up videos in the editing process coming out soon. Don't forget to subscribe to see them soon.

No problem 👍 thanks for watching

I get you. I'm guessing because they are special 2 piece rotors.

@@harborareatech310 sadly, the AWD models are one piece only… which is why I’m so frustrated lol. One piece rotors should be super easy to find. I don’t wanna buy OEM from Lexus because i think ONE rotor cost like $430

@Chris If the rotors look like the one in the video it's the two piece rotor. They come riveted together and I believe all if not most fsport models come with them. Not too sure if they have aftermarket versions though.

@@harborareatech310 that’s what’s I’m saying; the AWD models do not come with two piece rotors. They also have different size rotors than the RWD fsport models. 😩

Thanks for watching. When the opportunity arises I will make a video for the rear brakes on the same car. Don't forget to subscribe for future similar videos

I'll second that.....

It's hard to say without checking ourlt vehicle. But if you're not doing burnouts, the rear brakes normally tend to last longer than the front brakes. If the rotors ate warped, it's possible that there is an abnormal braking pattern occuring. If you are doing regular braking and the rear pads are worn out , i would get the calipers/other related components inspected

@@harborareatech310 definitely not doing burnouts, and I drive this car rather conservatively especially now that I daily my RX. I value my money and tires and brakes are too expensive on these cars🤣

Yes, the manual calls for adding grease at the contact points of the brake pads to reduce noise. Also, make sure your brake pads are equipped with anti squeal shims on the back of the pad. Lastly, I will point out that the f sport is equipped with high-performance brakes, so some brake squeal is normal. There is a bulletin to change the rotors from a two-piece rotor to a one-piece rotor to reduce noise. However, this reduces brake performance.

@@harborareatech310 Excellent, much appreciated! Put R1 Concepts drilled and slotted rotors. Removing pads to grease now. Thanks again!!!🙏🏼

@etet4736 I never tried those rotors. But if you are re- using the pads clean everything well, check that brake shim, and lightly sand down the brake lining evenly if you are reusing.

@@harborareatech310 I had bought ceramics last night, put those on went for a ride a I hear clunking! Took one tire off and pads are tight. Maybe reset them?

@@harborareatech310 Sanded originals and now everything is perfect. I’ll watch and Like all your videos, least I can do!

Thanks! Yes, it is normal. This means your catalytic converter is doing its job at filtering the exhaust gases. Also, condensation may build up overnight on the exhaust and can cause it to burn off at first startup. This is normal as well

@@harborareatech310 many thanks for your reply and info. Keep up the good work !

@gdanny9357 I'm sure there are aftermarket rotors that replace the 2 piece bit I wouldn't know, I always use the original

no problem! 2-piece rotor is a little lighter, so better suspension action (lighter un-sprung weight can improve road-response, but, only very little!!!) as long as there is no fitting issue, you can go with aftermarket. my car is LS500 F sport. I do all brake jobs, Acura RL, TL, honda accord v6, Lexus GS430 2006, gs430 2006,... I have so many experiences. believe me, you go!

@@changryu8128 so the 2 piece is better performance wise but a regular rotor can still be used right?

@@gdanny9357 absolutely!

Thanks, I've done the RC-F but not the fuji Speedway edition. I haven't got the chance to do brakes on one yet

@@harborareatech310 Do you know if you can use the Rcf pads and rotors on the Track Edition. The track edition rotors are $3000 each 🤦‍♂️

@elonmusk8667 i am not too sure. In that. I wouldn't want to change it, though. That's one of the things that make it the awesome car it is. But im sure there are some aftermarket companies that may have other options

Did you replace your anti squeal shims? I would also recommend to go with the OE pads and lube the contact points on the pads.

That's the truth!

I respect that

There should be a drain plug and a filler plug for those. Most likely it would be a 10mm hex

Thank you. Appreciate it. Dont forget to subscribe if you havent already. It's not that difficult i encourage you diy. I usually replace the rotors if they have a deep inner and outer lip on the edges of the rotor because resurfacing at that point may reult in the minimum spec. But technically they have a minimum thickness that you can measure I believe it's 27mm minimum spec but it also depends on the style rotor your vehicle has.

They are original parts from the dealership part numbers can be found at 4:36

My question is can the rear get 2 piece rotor as well ?

On this vehicle, the part number for the shims is 0494530340

LEXUS / TOYOTA OE BRAKE PADS BUT THEY ARE MANUFACTURED BY TEXTAR
