Default Low dust brake pads for Fsport?

Does any company make low dust pads for the Rwd Fsport? The brake dust is just as bad as my Isf.....swapped those with Hawks. My front wheels look horrible after 30 miles to and from work. Will 2IS pads fit in the front? Rears are ok not much dust.

Non-fsport 3IS comes with low dust version I don't know the part number. I' hope Lexus will issue TSB for it.

Are they the same size for non af sport and F sports? I thought rwd models had larger brakes?

Just have to wait a little while until aftermarket companies to make them. You are looking for ceramic brake pads.

Yes that's what I'm looking for. Do you know if pads from a 2IS fit the 3IS?

Not sure if the brakes are the same on both cars or not. Most likely going to have to contact the company directly or maybe someone here on the forums knows the answer.

To my knowledge the brake components between 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen are the same...

I switched to LOW dust pads when I had MY08 Sport Package IS350.. Totally worked like a charm and noticed no major differences on everyday street driving ...

I will double check the part numbers for you guys & gals tomorrow..

Thanks Joe your are a savior....I'm tired of washing my wheels every 3 days I can't stand seeing dust on them. I want a set of Vossens but now way I'm putting aftermarket wheels with all this brake dust it's insane....it seems worse than my Isf with the stock pads.

Probably NOT as all F-Sports now come with "High Friction" pads....

So far from what I pulled up is that ALL the existing LOW DUST Front Brake Pads should be a direct fit to the 2014 IS250 / IS350...

I have several sets of parts numbers, but honestly without trying them out on my own, I cannot recommend to buy..

Last known LOW DUST pads I installed on my IS350 back in 09' was # 04465-30400 = Low Dust

Which shows to be superseded by # 04465-30450 = also Low Dust for IS350

*******************************************************************************************

IS250 Low Dust Front pad shows # 04465-53030 and maybe #04465-30480


That’s all I got for now... Double check before you buy or ask for "LOW DUST" pads

We have the same brake dust issue with the GS F Sport and to my knowledge Lexus hasn't issued a TSB for it. I wouldn't hold my breath. Best to research aftermarket brake pads.

How much would dealer charge to swap out to low dust?
