I don't particularly car for our brakes. The low brakedust pads only made things worse. Too much travel before anything happens. Once they finally bite, they seem okay. I've adjusted. But I don't think it's safe to have that lag time.

Low brake dust = harder pads = longer cold initial stops
Many unthinking owners buy into the brake dust is bad myth.

Kinda like many people buy into the myth that brake pads change braking distance.

If you hit the brake as hard as you can, I dont see how brake pads make it different. if the ABS kicks in anyways.

I went into the new low dust pads knowing they'd not feel as responsive (research done here). It was a worthwhile tradeoff. Overall, there's room for improvement with Lexus IS brakes.
