I'm surprised to have found these for our IS200 F-Sports...has anyone tried these or does anyone have any positive/negative experience with Brembo? Thinking of jumping on these for the price...

After a couple of weeks driving with the Akebono pads, I feel there is more bite than the OEMs.
You definitely will not be losing any stopping power, although it does take a few days of driving to break in.
Not sure about the Brembos, but for $52 it's not too much of a risk.

So, I'm going to order the Akebono's...I'm curious though, I took my car into the dealer today for the 10k service and I mentioned the brakes have been squeaking. They service advisor told me after they finished that I need new pads since I've already worn out the old ones. Now, I have no problem buying new pads, because I'm over the insanely dirty rims, but it's the first time I only get 10k miles out of a set of pads. Is this normal? just wondering what you all have experienced...
Thanks!

I just rolled over 12k last week and my stock brakes were fine. They were squeeking a tad bit though. I also am in traffic quite a bit too so they get used.

I went though a pair at 10k. I bought some Akebonos for next time I replace though

My stock OEMs had about 70% meat left when I took them out at 11k miles.

Mine was at ~1.5mm @ 25k miles

Any long term review of the akebono pads? Any fades or time or squeacking? And how many mile you get out of them?

Anyone notice these pads making a very loud squeak in the mornings or after the cars been parked for a few hours?

No squeak in the morning.
I had the squeaking with the OEM pads.
