^OEM! If you have horrible noise with those pads now, I would recommend getting others. Plus make sure you have the recommended shims as well.

I have this problem as well, but it's not much of a problem. Only squeaks loudly when its cold under little pressure. I never had this problem occur on hard or regular braking.

And the noise is coming from the front, the Stealership (LMAO) wants 590.00 to replace the front calipers and pads! I think Im going to have them turned first at a local shop and see what the outcome is! My dealership said the TSB only applied to 4yr/40k cars, and im over mileage....

Mine quoted me $720 for it. Talked them down to $610. Yes it's still a rip off but at least you get OEM updated low dust brake pads and updated rotors.

You could order it online at Sewell and DIY. I heard the front pads are super easy to do yourself. Maybe save you $250, but I was too lazy. Made up for it by drinking free coffee and taking 5 sandwiches lol.

I think Im going to purchase OEM pads and rotors and have a local shop do the work. I had a BMW out of warranty before this Lexus, and this shop did all the work on that car and saved me a good bit of money. Good Customer service= repeat business.
