Default Brembo brake pads for 4GS

My stock pads are squealing so I want to upgrade them. Has anybody used these pads or should I just stick OEM pads?

....I guess you will be the Guinea Pig. Let us know how it is. I was considering the same, but ended putting OE pads instead.

Try giving these a go, have heard a lot of great reviews about it. They said that they'll fit the Lexus GS 350.

Stoptech 309 11180 High Performance Sport Brake Pads Front Set | eBay
Those are cheaper than the Brembos. I might get those instead.

What pads did you end up going with LatinGSF? Would like to get an update on how the new pads are holding up.

I didn't get the Brembo brake pads after all. I ended with Centric Posiquiet pads. They have very little dust compared to the OEM pads but they sometimes squeal at low speeds.

I got the brembo pads. Had the rotors resurfaced also. Can't really tell about the brake dust, but they are a tad noisy. Stopping power has been great in the snow.

Those centric posiquite ceramics are the only pads with low dust and have minimal noise usually when warming up. I tried autozones ceramics, pepboys ceramics and akebono ceramics, all squealed like pigs no matter what. The only downside to the centric ones are they rattle when hitting bumps. It's a bit annoying.

After reading all the threads how we loose the braking power with aftermarket pads I'm sticking with the oem pads for now.

Im using EBC Yellowstuff at the fronts on my 13' F Sport. They are wayyyyyyyy better than OEMs. Squealed quite a lot when braking at lower speeds for the first 1k miles but that was solved with those brake grease thing (the grease you put behind the pads). Way better initial bite too Haven't cleaned the car for 2 weeks and there's not a lot of dust on the fronts.

Had the Brembo pads, would never buy again. Had to return them and buy another set. They screeched so loud I was embarrassed every time I drove my car. Got Akebono, never going back.
