Question Braking issue

hey guys I have problem with my brake system. When is comes to last 10 feet to a stop light always make this squeaky noise/high pitch noise. Brought it to the dealer for few times and they said this is a high-performance brake that's why there is these type of sound. I have a 2014 IS350.

Is it possible to buy the pads and have the dealers install it?

Changing pads is very easy job....you do not need to go to the dealer. Any independent shop should be able to do it for a lot cheaper. In fact, if your rotors do not need resurfacing, you can do it yourself. Plenty of youtube video on how to do it...

Centrics are pretty good value but Akebono ceramic pads are the best for low noise/dust.
