Awesome work, very much appreciated.
The factory service manual states "when replacing worn pads, the anti-squeal shims must be replaced together with the pads". It does not appear you have done this. Have you noticed issues/noise?

Great write up.
My only suggestion is to replace the C-clamp w/ a special tool designed to compress the piston on the caliper. This is a cheap version and should cost under $10.
The only reason I suggest this is that it puts even pressure on the entire piston by placing the compression point at the center rather than just one side.

great DIY, after taking off the old pads. Do they have part number on them by any chance? I took my car in for the TSIB a few years ago, I have a feeling they didn't switch my pads because the brake dust is still pretty bad. I read people are getting 90% less dust with the new pads. was just wondering...

Great write up, makes things easier foir the rest of us!
REQ. - a couple of things I am looking for is parts numbers for piston boot/clip, slider boot/clip, slider pins and mounting bolts so I can have a couple spares on hand for when things get broken/damaged in removal. Torque specs. on the bolts. A schematic would be handy too.

I have a question, hopefully somebody can answer even though this thread is old. I just replaced my brakes and rotors all the way around. In several videos and tutorials, I've noticed those spring clips on the front pads. Mine didn't have any, the pads I replaced were not OEM. What is the purpose of these clips? From what I can tell by looking at several videos, it appears their only purpose might just be to facilitate pad removal. I also watch an ASE certified mechanic at the dealership do a brake job on Youtube and he didn't replace the clips even though the original pads had them on there. I'm not adverse to purchasing a brake hardware kit and installing them, I just want to make sure they're necessary before I do.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

lexus' schedule says that they should be changed every 30K miles but i think once the fluid starts to get more brownish in color it should be changed.
rotors i would change every other brake job but to be sure they need to be measured to meet minimum thickness. you can go to a reputable garage or pep boys/autozone type stores to determine that for you.
