I changed my rear disc and rear pads last month, I didn't go with OEM parts, but OEM equivalent.

However the brakes squeak every now and then, it's an annoying sound. I noticed this on Sewell's site:

and

I'm wondering if I could install these in the upcoming days - since mine were never changed - hoping that would solve the issue or do I have to put another set of new pads with it as well?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if there is an significant difference with the rears, but my fronts squeaked when I bought the car about 4 months ago. Not sure what brand, but pretty sure they are not OEM (no dust at all and didn't look OEM). However they were pretty much brand new. I had tried putting anti squeal grease on and it helped for a short while, but didn't completely fix the issue.

I ended up getting the front anti squeal shims from a local Canadian Lexus dealer for $30. Haven't heard a squeal since.

I would recommend checking out the local price first, give your dealer a call and tell them the part number.

Whether not this will solve your issue though, I am not too sure. Did you use anti squeal grease on the back of the pads?

When does it tend to squeak? Right before stopping?

2008 IS 250 rear brakes always squeak when backing up slowly. Have had dealer check numerous times and they always say they can't find anything wrong.

I'll check with the local dealer next week for the pricing, I just put that link up so people would see what I was talking about.

It squeaks when I press the brake in reverse or right before stopping.

My brakes didn't squeak when I bought the car. They started making that noise a month ago, so I changed the disc and pads, but the noise remains.

Mine squeaked when I needed new rotors/brake pads
