Hi all.

I am having problems with the pads squealing when coming to a stop. My mechanic has replaced them 2 times, when they only have 3000 miles or so. He doesn't charge me for the replacement, but it is a drag. They are made for Toyota, but are aftermarket. Should I suggest Lexus oem ones , or does someone have a better suggestion??

Thanks in advance for your ideas..

Are the rotors being turned when the pads are being replaced? Are you using factory shims that go onto the back of the pad with a quality anti-squeal compound?

 

you're probably using the cheap semi-metalic brakes.

My dealer told me that they have been getting those complaints on these brakes, they recommend you spend extra $10 on ceramic pads or even $20 on organic

 

On my first visit for a complete brake job, he replaced the rotors and the pads. I'll have to ask him about the factory shims. Also will ask if he is using the semi-metalic brakes.

I'll take your advice and ask him to use the better ceramic pads. Thanks to you both for your input..

Dan.

 

Hey,

I need some advice on changing my spark plugs in my SC 400. Is it hard to change them? I have never done this on my car and I have had it for about 6 years now. Any help with this would be great!

Thanks
