There's something wrong with my brakes!
There isn't any brake dust on my wheels and I've been driving the poop out of it! 
I can't begin to tell you guys how happy I am with the new pads. 
Now if I could only get these pads for my other cars....

I have been corresponding via e-mail with the service manager at my dealership the last day or so. He is being a ***** about this and is not jumping at the chance to do this for me.
My next e-mail to him will be - "maybe I should contact another Lexus dealer"

But keep on pressing your SA. The low-dust brake pads have worked great for me and others on CL.

Take a copy of the TSB to the dealership when you bring in the car. I did mine done about 2 mos ago, brought in the TSB and the SA said he was not aware of this TSB. Made sure the new pads were in stock, 3hrs later car was finished, washed ready to go. This is for the front pads as the rears are not an issue, After a week between washes, virtually no dust! Would not hesitate to do it if you hate black wheels.

Where can I find a copy of the TSB? Can someone post it here or possibly email it to me? Also,is the TSB for a 2006 GS300,as thats what I have.

Why don't you send him another email and include the TSB attachment. There shouldn't be any questions after that...and if there is, ask for the service manager, remember the squeeky wheel gets the grease.

There are low dust performance pads by third party like mintex, and hawk for your other vehicles. I have some on my Audi.

I keep looking for a difference but can't find any. They feel the same and I am usually very sensitive to things like this.
