The Lexus LC500 is one of the most striking grand tourers on the road — a perfect blend of refined luxury and naturally aspirated V8 performance. But while its styling and soundtrack are world-class, its factory braking system leaves much to be desired for spirited drivers. That’s where Triton Motorsports steps in with our floating 2-piece steel brake rotors, engineered specifically for the LC500.
Whether you’re carving through canyon roads or just want more confidence under heavy braking, upgrading your brake rotors and pads is one of the most impactful performance improvements you can make.
Why Upgrade the Brakes on Your Lexus LC500?
The stock brakes on the LC500 are functional but far from performance-tuned. Lexus equipped the car with relatively heavy one-piece iron rotors, which:
Retain heat under repeated hard braking
Add to unsprung mass and reduce handling response
Limit pad bite and overall brake feel during spirited driving
The solution? Triton Motorsports floating 2-piece steel rotors, which dramatically improve heat dissipation, reduce rotor weight, and enhance pedal modulation — all while maintaining a factory-like fit and finish.
