    That makes sense. I guess I'll take the rortors off and dress up the hubs, can't hurt.

    That's good to know. One more thing I'm curious about is cleaning the rotor hub. Most tutorials I've seen show the rotor being mounted to the hub with no attention to cleaning the hub at all. After I completed my brake job I found a tutorial where the guy put a mirror finish on the hub claiming you could ruin your pads if you don't do this. Should I clean the hubs or can I let it slide? I don't have any pulsations/vibrations in the brakes after 200 miles of driving.

    Thanks lenore. One question I have is whether or not to bleed the brakes. Some tutorials I've seen, mostly with American cars & trucks, bleed the brakes as part of the job. It's probably the safe thing to do but it looks messy and in my case was not necessary. Any opinions?

    Thanks for all the input. I bought a pad and rotor set from 1aauto and installed them without any problems. The brakes are quiet and work well, now we'll see if they last. I saved a bunch of cash doing the job myself and this includes the cost of jack stands and a 2.5 ton floor jack. I think I'll be fixing my own brakes from now on.

    OK, thanks. I found Bendix pads and rotors for about $100 a set. Are they good quality?

    Hello All, I’m going to attempt my first rotor and brake pad replacement on my 2004 ES330. According to the dealer I need front pads and rotors and that’s all I want to replace. Does anyone know what aftermarket pads and rotors are equivalent to the original Lexus parts so the front and rear won’t be mismatched?
