I ordered the Akebono ACT1283 Proact Ultra Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad with Centric 120.44149 Rear Brake Rotor. My rears are currently at 5mm per Lexus after I had them change the oil and look things over. I plan on changing them this summer. The fronts are at 6mm which I assume gives me quite a bit more time as I have read the fronts wear slower than rear on the LS460
@@LILEVO Debating if I should just do the front while I am at as you did to just be safe. I have only had the car a couple of months and have been getting it up to snuff. I will only be putting 5-8k miles a year on it at most but would rather know it is well maintained and can prepare for the normal items such as arms, etc
I really appreciate the information you have been so kind as to give on RUclips. I am following your videos for some routine maintenance things as I get back to being able to work on my own cars again. I have a LS460 and as I have been getting it up to as good as I can possibly get it so I can get another 150k miles out of it I noticed it idles around 1100-1200 RPM. This seems high to me but I was not sure. Our other vehicle is a hybrid so I have not been used to paying attention to the idle on a car in quite a few years. I assume the LS460 should be 700ish RPM at idle? The last time I had a car that was this high at idle was my 1984 Thunderbird 20+ years ago and it ended up being a throttle body issue.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video and also for all of the valuable information. I used it to make myself a handy PDF guide!
@MrLeroyJacob thanks for watching and supporting the channel. Sometimes the most basic things need to be reviewed from time to time

Nice! I think rotor warp is a larger (and quicker) concern with these heavy cars before the pad thickness gets worn down.

@@chrishamby86 I would. Just keep it consistent
@@LILEVO thanks for the advice. I'll do all four this summer. I'll have access to a lift as well which will make it a much easier job too

Is this an AWD? If so, what is the rotor diameter for the front ad rear?
