Apperantly Lexus have corrected the brake squeal with the new pads/shims. Still a lot of dust so I can't tell of any big difference. I can live with the brake dust.

Good news for you and all Sport owners. Too late for me. When I worked out a deal to exchange my '10 Sport for my '11 LS last year they didn't have a clue and had no timeframe for resolving the problem.

In terms of the brake dust, Brembo's (and most "big brakes") have that issue. It is considered fairly normal.

I believe brake dust is PRIMARILY a factor of the PAD Material and not the caliper design or type.
And there are (currently) no ceramic pads available for these Brembo calipers used on a Lexus "Sport" model.
I only wanted to clarify this.
Happy upcoming Easter to all. Mikey Lulejian - Lake Oconee, GA

LOL ............ Thanks, Bud for thinking of me. But my passion is Bass fishing on Lake Oconee.
And I have a far better chance of catching Bass than convincing this great Japanese company they should listen to me. On top of that, lately my fishing exploits have turned up little. ROFL. So now you can see your "chances" of me having any significant impact here.

PS - For those of you who do NOT have a "SPORT" model LS460 and who have still not changed over your brake pads to AKEBONO Ceramic pads, you're really missing out. This is NOT something you do when you need top change brake pads...this is something you do immediately ....A Top Priority ....... Unless you enjoy being a slave to cleaning your wheels.

Bud and all ...... Take Care and please enjoy a most Blessed Easter Week !
