You make it seem that we just want free pads cause we want to to get free pads. It's not like that.. i'm just very pissed off that i paid all this money for this car and the brakes sound and look like i drive a Ford Taurus. No let me take that back my, when my mom had a Taurus her brakes never sounded like that. The worst part is to take it to the dealer and ask for help and they tell me i need new pads and rotors.. WTF.. i just got the F@$# car... (sorry now i my head hurts)

I was at my dealer (LOQ) on Tuesday and they confirmed the validity of the TSB, it's not out yet but it *IS* true.

It bothers me sometimes when fellow IS owners think that we just want a free set of brake pads. Did it even occur to you guys that maybe it's not about getting them for free but to have a less dust producing brake pads. I only have 6k miles but I'm willing to pay for a new set of pads. We should be supporting each other here. Some want to rant and some want to vent their frustrations.

IS 250 or 350? If it's a 250 then the part number will be the same and your dust problem will be the same. If it's a 350 the old part number is 04465-30410 and the new "less dusty" pad is 04465-30400. These are the same pads on the GS450h. However, you profile says you drive and RX330, in which case, Lexus only makes one pad. There will be no bulletin for the RX330.
