Smile Replacement pads/rotors/calipers GS300

Just wanted to share my latest maintenance project. I needed to replace a seized caliper, brake pads, and rotors. This would have cost $1000 at the Lexus dealership, but bought all the parts myself and installed in an afternoon ($300).
Caliper: rebuild from local foreign parts store

Pads: Akebono ProAct (TireRack)

Rotors: Brembo (TireRack)

I couldn't be happier with how quiet and smooth the braking is now. No squeaks and very low dust.
