Whats up guys, I was thinking about replacing the brake pads on my 350 myself and maybe paint my calipers not sure about that yet though. The questions I have is has anybody done that, is there anything I should be aware of before I start it, and what type of brakes would you guys recommend I do some city driving with alot of highway if that helps any. Thanks

 

Why not let Lexus change the pads under the brake dust TSB and you can paint the calipers after?

 

Will they let me even though my brakes are just about gone?

 

Some here have said if you're in warranty no problem.A few have said the brade pads have to be within a certain wear number.
I had 20K miles.
Give your dealer a call.You have nothing to lose.

 

I had nearly 24,000 miles on my brake pads and Lexus did perform the front brake TSIBupon request. Very satisfied. No more build-up of brake dust and no apparent loss in braking power.

 

i will find out tomorrow about how well the new brake pads are..

 

I had mines done with nearly 25k! and in all honesty the brake pads suck! I get dust in 2days!! Im going to switch them out along with my rotors for EBC reds.

 

Here's the DIY if you want to change out your brake pads yourself.

I would almost be willing to bet my life they put the old part numbers pads on instead of new TSB ones. My brake dust is down at least 90% - it really is that significant.

 

TSB is only for the front brakes as well

 

Did you see in the work order which TSIB they did, I have the same result and I found out that they did the TSIB for sqeeking brakes not the excess dust TSIB. But yes I still get the dust problem (not as bad as original but still bad). But I'm just sick of dealing with the dealership now so I'll just live with it.
