hi guys i have 2008 Lexus IS 250, i need to change my front brake. I'll be the one will change it, dealer charging me $600. my question is what kind grease or lubricant that you can use on you're slide pin??? i ask a Las Vegas Lexus Dealership what kind of grease that i can put on, and this the one they give me Toyota Disk Brake Grease Part# 08887-80609.... i bought it $42... is these right one??? when i open it, there's a small paper, it say Disk Brake Caliper Grease... I've been calling back them and keep asking, they said it's ok to put it on. I've been searching here on Internet... i can't find anything that good, everything review is bad. what i read, if you put a wrong grease it would mess up you're rubber by the slide pin... if you have any suggest, please free to reply. thanks and God bless

yes, toyota disk brake grease is the correct stuff...

for future reference any of the silicone based synthetic brake caliper lubricants like, permatex , or crc will also work and they are only about $8 to$10 at your local auto parts store.

They gave your a tube of white thick grease, works great especially in between the brake pad and mounting bracket, gets rid of the clunk when going from drive to reverse

so yesterday i did change my front rotors and brake. i have a little trouble i bought a Akebono ceramic front brake pad, the second shim on my original brake pad, it won't snap on my new Akebono brake pad, so what i did my "McGyver" thingi... i took out the shim on my Akebono brake pad came on it and took out my Toyota Brake pad shim, a little adjust on it, till i hear that snap. And wallah! it works! hope i did the right thing

FYI - Stop Tech Slotted Rotors and Akebono Ceramic Brake...
i have a little slight squeak when i drove slowly, but it's ok

Over All - I'm Satisfied! For now....

Thanks for all you're suggestion guys... God Bless you all!
