Just go into Lexus dealership and tell them pads are squeaking. If it squeaks when they test drive it they'll replace all 4 pads for free... ask me how I got 4 free pads when I was under factory warranty

Ha. That's amusing this is up, because this Saturday my wife took her's to the dealer for squealing. There's a note on the bottom of the service receipt stating that high performance brakes squeal.

there is a TSIB for it. I called on it and the seemed like they were going to have to verify everything even though it only happens intermittently

I'm using Stop Tech pads with Figs 2-piece rotors and Superblue fluid. My stock pads made noise for the short time I had them. I switched to the Wearever ceramic pads that everyone loved for a while. I only used those for maybe 200 miles before switching to the current setup. The Wearever pads where quite and pretty much dust free.

I actually still have that set of essentially brand new pads in the box. I'll never use them again so if anyone wants to buy them let me know.

My next set of brakes will be the new Figs big brake kit.

Im at 25k in my 2010 and I think after the coming track day the rotors and pads will be toast. Got front pads and rotors from Sewell for a steal with CL membership.

I doubt it. I did three weekends and two sets of Carbotech XP-12s on my first set of rotors before they were cracked beyond acceptable limits. They were still plenty thick enough. The track you were driving isn't hard on brakes at all. Come out to CMP in South Carolina if you want to see what hard on your brakes means. Heck, I bet the Lexus script on your calipers is still silver...
