No you didn't.

Barring improper install, rotors don't warp. Including rotors driven WAY WAY harder than you ever drove a car.

What you likely did was cause a lot of uneven pad transfer- see the section in the article describing pad imprinting and again the 4th paragraph from the end of the "prevention" section on how to avoid it.

Maybe I do have uneven pad transfer because I didn't want to slam on brakes so I slowly hit the brakes at certain intervals so they don't heat up. Idk about barring install because Lexus installed them. Looks like I need 09 IS350 lol i hate going through aux cables

I don't care to read all 4 pages, but personally I'd like to see a 2-door hardtop model.

I haven't had the car long but here is my list

1. AC Seats (everything agrees with this so far)
2. HUD option for showing current speed and Turn by Turn Directions
3. Cup holder led lights
4. Proxmity key that locks the door when you walk away.
5. Always on 12v connection
6. HD Radio
7. Powermat charging option built into arm rest
8. +20MPG City
9. Blind spot detection or concave mirrior like on the ford's

A TPMS system that actually tells you WHICH tire is low on air.

Stick shift for BOTH 250 and 350... and a sportier looking shifter than what comes on the current 250.

DITTO, how'd I forget that, it sucks playing the guessing game especially when you start your car in the morning on your way to work....it also would be super nice if it was quicker in displaying the low tire sensor.......

BTW that wasn't fixed in 2009, granted they added a USB port however the AUX port is still in a very inconvenient location.

No I don't. For whatever reason, the European and Australiasian models missed out on sunglass holders, as outlined in this thread: http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/for...howtopic=29409

Interesting! Have you thought about doing a USDM conversion?

USB was 2010 actually... but I'm guessing you haven't seen an 06-08 then?

The 09+ port is vastly improved in location- you can actually close the lid without any sort of angled/short adapter.

Dont forget I come from a 2007

And I never had any problems closing the lid when using an aux cable. They need to move in from the center console period. Moving it 1 inch to one side did nothing.

I guess I'm not sure what your problem is with its location then? Center console lets you leave a device hooked up without it being visually obvious you're leaving a valuable electronic device in the car.... where would you want it relocated to?
