Where are you guys getting the TSB info? I checked AllData and TSB BR001-02 only pertains to 2002 RX. Lexus changed the front brake pad design that year and I suspect it has something to do with that.

When I replace my rear pads and rotors, I noticed OEM semi-metallic brake dusts caused corrosion on alloy wheels.
