The sensors fit into a recess cut into the pad backing plate. There’s a little metal clip holding them in. Just follow the wire to the pad, its pretty obvious once you take a good look.

What about the rears? I'm only at 10k and I'm starting to hear squeaking. Sounds like it's from the back

I think thats just the bad installation either shimmes are not properly set or the grease was not enough

Rears are at 5mm. There was a TSB for squeaking breaks on OEM pads. They replaced them with brakes with a different compound.

I reached about 30k on mine before I switch pads. I added Toms racing pads. They have been great so far. Doesn't seem like there is a lot of dust. Time will tell.

I'm still on the OEM rotors, only about 6k miles on the Toms pads. no issues yet. I haven't heard that they are hard on the rotors but I plan on switching to an aftermarket 2 piece when its time to change. I purchased the pads from Josh at Meraki.

Oh sweet. Do you have the TSB number by any chance?

Cool Here Ya Go

Im pretty sure this is the one. The only issue with this - is that you may end up with OEM Pads that cough out as much Brake Dust as the set before!
Was told that I couldn't bring my own Pads to Lexus and have them changed out under this TSB. I don't think they like billing Labor to the Company when not using OEM Equipment.
I'd do anything to rid myself of these insane brake dust pads!!

The lack of pads for this car drives me nuts.

Are our options really limited to low end centric (or the like) and then Project Mu, Endless, etc?

I dont need 600+ dollars in pads for this car. I dont track it. Give me a break.
