New brakes on GS300
Just wanted to share my latest maintenance project. I needed to replace a seized caliper, brake pads, and rotors. This would have cost $1000 at the Lexus dealership, but bought all the parts myself and installed in an afternoon ($300).
Caliper: rebuild from local foreign parts store
Pads: Akebono ProAct (TireRack)
Rotors: Brembo (TireRack)
I couldn't be happier with how quiet and smooth the braking is now. No squeaks and very low dust.

i have the wheel shake at 40+ mph thing going and I was wondering where you got your brake calipers from? Did you get them rebuilt or did you buy them locally? If you could pm or email me at tommycho@gmail.com I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Thanks
