Thanks for the update. Any squeals with centric pads? How about the rear pads, still OEM or something else?

Lexus won’t do the TSB pads on my ‘19 GS-F because though it is the same part number, Lexus hasn’t listed ‘18-‘19 models yet (dumb). Anyway...I can’t stand the noise and brake dust from the Brembo pads! Anyone have experience with the Project MU NS or PS pads? Or know the difference between the two?

^^, Prior the replacement there was squeals like metal sound very often. After I replaced with the front centric pads and sensors, the squeals is disappear as it slowly break in. I test the new brake pad on street, freeway and it perform as good as OEM. Damn, what's a cost saving ! . My OEM rear pad is still at 30% left. I will order from rockauto next time when its due

Thanks for the update, good to know it works well for you! Too bad the Centric rear pads for GSF is OOS everywhere, and rockauto doesnt even have it listed, otherwise I’d give Centric a try. BTW did you perform the bedding/burnish on the Centric pads?

Rockauto have other brand like powerstop… etc. ; Most of the brand they sell it should work fine. The thing is if you don't use your GSF to the racetrack then most of the brand should work fine for daily driving use.

Did the TSB for brake pads and have had no issues. Squeaking is gone but brake dust is still there. If you are looking for simple DD pads. I would go with the free pads as an option.

Yes, everywhere I read people seem to love powerstops. I'll wait till my brake light comes on, maybe another 2mm to go, and then give powerstops a try.
