This is basically the only mod I'll be doing since the OEM pad dust (and noise from other postes) is ridiculous...anyone know of a set already available on the market?

I posted this link a while ago in some other thread (https://www.racetechnologies.com/pro...17/lexus/lc500). These (expensive) systems include Brembo HP FM1000 pads. The same site shows a low dust HP2000 pad option (https://www.racetechnologies.com/art...ke-pad-options), but I don't know if they're available for the LC. Most forums I've read through say all pads produce about the same amount of dust, and the ceramic pads just produce a lighter-color dust which only makes one think there's less dust(?).

Alternatively, if you have an air compressor in that sweet garage of yours, blow the dust out of the wheels as often as you can, and/or put on a pair of latex/rubber/nitrite gloves and wipe the dust out of the inner wheel barrels often. I've been doing this regularly, and I have no brake noise. However, I also don't drive my LC in the rain (at least yet), so that may also be working in my favor. At the very least, your wheels will always look sparkly new!

Thanks for that info, I really appreciate it. And yes I do have compressed air that comes in very handy.

"2017 Lexus LC500"... They mean 2018 model year, correct?

Have these been confirmed to not have the stock LC500 brake squealing issue?
