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.

Glad to hear your brake job went smooth for you and best thing is, you saved quite a bit from not having to resort to the dealer

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
