Holy Moly, after a five mile drive, there is brake dust lined over the front wheela, after 3 days forget about it!!!

I mean, the brakes aren't even that awesome to have an excuse for the brake dust. I know it is the pads, has anyone switched their's out?

This is about my only complaint

I got 3k on mine and they still dust up fast. Drives me nuts!

Just gives me an excuse to wash her more lol.

on the 3gs people complained enough that lexus issued tsib to swap out to dustless pads (a little sacrifice on performance). seems like it's the same story all over again on the 4gs.

I have 3000 miles, no dust.

Could be AWD vs RWD

I have 5000 miles and no build-up.

i haven't had a problem with brake dust. and now that my wheels are silver i still don't have that problem. although i do have 2 coats of wolfs rim shield on the silver wheels. i wash my wheels once a week but when i do wash i never see build up.

its a common problem on all of them, if somebody says there is no brake dust I don't blv it, just slide ur finger and ck it out, its nasty, I am just waiting for a one the companies I deal with to come up with ceramic pads, I will be seeing Akebono at the SEMA show at las vegas and keep u guys potsed, that is one of the best brake pads I sold and used.

I agree, if I get it in a five mile drive, then everyone else has to have the build up. The actual wheel turns a different color.

I am going to speak with Lexus tomorrow.

Don't waist ur time, they wont do anything about it, I am working on it, give me some time, I know it sucks looking at it witb all that brake dust, my Tacoma has Akebkno brakes on it, and its amazing, stops good and no brake dust.

My '08 BMW 328i w/ Sports Package had amazing brakes along with huge amounts of brake dust!

My 4GS has minimal brake dust in comparison!

My previous BMW 523i F10 & Merc C200k had worse brake dust problem in comparison !! Of course, it would be good to know whether this problem can be resolved with other pads without compromising on the performance : )

But don't the RWD have larger brakes than the AWD? Again, it looks like the 3 people who have said no brake dust are all driving AWD.

UPDATE: When I got back from lunch I took my index finger and swiped a spot on my driver side front wheel. I have 78 miles on the car since it has been washed. I got a minute amount of black dust on my finger...but not OMG!!!!!111!!Juan!!!111! type dust...and nothing that would warrant washing the car/wheels today.

Ok who ever said they have no brake dust is for sure lying to them self. Larger brakes or not it's the pads that create the dust, also i have a awd fsport with 18.500km on the odo. And i have crazy brake dust but dosent bother me grew up with alot of sports car and i tell you no sport car will have no brake dust. Just wash the rim if it really bothers you that much. And to who ever said the brakes are not that good gots to be trippin. The are very good took it to the track and it was amazing minimal brake fade and i can brake much later before i enter the turn. Unless you been driving cars with 6 piston brake or more then i understand where your getting at. And those 3 awd say they have no brake dust must cant tell from rim colour to brake dust because when i first pick up my awd fsport back in late FEB right on day one had brake dust.

, u know whts up.

dun, it's not that serious, you're upset about what? i don't have to explain but i will. i said i don't have a problem with brake dust and never see build up. my wheels are cleaned once a week and i also have rim shield on the wheels. my wheels are silver, so yes i hope i know what color brake dust is. i've had 2 F-Sports since Feb. i will see dust on my finger when i rub the wheel but not a lot. maybe i should have been more specific.
