Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for Lexus GS300 GS430 IS300

In this review the kit is judged as a practical, all-in-one brake service option for owners of compatible Lexus models who want a direct-fit replacement without sourcing individual parts. The TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit includes both front and rear rotors, ceramic pad sets with contact point grease and hardware, plus a brake cleaner and DOT 3 & 4 fluid, so the single biggest reason to buy is the convenience of a vehicle-specific, OE replacement disc brake kit that covers a full axle service in one purchase.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to be a straight OE replacement for specified Lexus models so installation is typically simple and requires no extra machining.
• Complete Kit: Includes two front and two rear rotors, front and rear ceramic pad sets, grease, and hardware, allowing a full front-and-rear brake refresh from one box.
• Chemical Kit Included: The supplied 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner and 12 oz DOT 3 & 4 brake fluid make it easier to prep rotors and top up the system during installation.
• Ceramic Pads: Ceramic friction material is provided for quieter, dust-reduced braking and consistent stop performance on the covered Lexus applications.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Fitment notes and OE/reference numbers are provided so owners can check compatibility with model years before purchasing.

Who It's For

This kit is best for DIY mechanics and independent shops working on 1998-2010 Lexus GS300, GS400, GS430, IS300, and SC430 models listed in the fitment. It suits owners who prefer replacing rotors and pads together to restore braking performance and avoid mixing old rotors with new pads.

It is less suitable for those who need an upgraded performance or track-focused braking solution, or for buyers who want exact OEM-branded components rather than a high-quality aftermarket OE replacement kit.
