My neighbor still owns his ('06 GS430 fully loaded) up to this date. I believe he has less than 60K on it as he owns several other cars. Enjoy this toy!

And if it's not the noise from the rotor slots and holes that you're hearing, It may just be metal to metal contact with the rotors of some sort that will eventually wear down and you won't hear the noise anymore.

Sorry to tell you and Just so you know for the future, They make two types of cross drilled and slotted rotors. Good and bad . Good ones work as described, Bad ones do as well but they just make that noise. When shopping for rotors make sure that NRT is specified

--- It's funny you guys mention this. I've had issues with my cross drilled rotors since the installation. Initially, I thought it was actually worse then what it really was. Now after more reading on this, I realize the "screeching & metal shaving" noises are normal. It comes with the territory so to speak. I'm disappointed in the noises but brake quality is overall good. Next time around I think I'm getting OEM rotors and pads. From Sewell Parts. Here's a pic of the ones I'm currently running on.
