Its a known issue with the factory brakes. Did u purchase a CPO? I had the same issue and took it up with my dealership and Lexus corp and had them replace pads and rotors at no charge.

I just went around each corner of my wife's 07 and removed each caliper and greased the shims and slide pins. The squeel went away and has been gone for a couple weeks now. Use SilGlyde brake grease if you do it. I used some other brand last time and it didn't hold up long.

I have a 2014 Lexus GS 350 F Sport RWD and replaced the OEM brake rotors and pads with EBC rotors and Akebono brake pads. I also installed brake hardware and resurfaced the rotors. I absolutely hear no noise coming from my brakes. This is my 3rd brake job before I found a combination that didnt squeal or squeak. My mechanic also suggested using slotted rotors as well to prevent warping. I currently do not have slotted rotors but will swap them once I cant resurface the EBC's I have on now anymore. Follow the setup below for a noise free brake job!

1. Rotors = EBC RK Series Plain Vented Brake Rotors (you can also choose a slotted rotor to prevent warping)
2. Front Brake Pads = Akebono Act1118 Pro Act Ceramic Brake pads
3. Rear Brake Pads = Akebono Act1391 Pro Act Ceramic Brake pads
4. Front Brake Hardware = Centric 117.44061 Front Disc Brake Hardware Kit
5. Rear Brake Hardware = Centric 117.44029 Rear Disc Brake Hardware Kit
6. Resurface rotors
