Is it me or lately there has been a few trolls visiting this forum, or it's the same guy bad mouthing about Lexus. Remember the one that posted a bunch of stupid polls (BMW335 vs IS350, Inf G37 vs IS350)? Sorry, if this is not you then I must be imagining 'cause you kind of sound like him.

They're really crap cars. They rattle, squeak, the brakes squeal and make lots of dust, and they're always in the shop. You would be much better off with a Mercedes or BMW.

[/sarcasm] This a Lexus forum. Get real.

Who told you this? It's a lie. I measured mine at installation, 20k later, and just recently when I crossed over 50k miles. I saw no significant difference in rate of disc wear.
