I have a 2013 Lexus GS F Sport I bought used. I had a 2009 GS450H before
I have horrible brake squeal noise from cold start or even when very warmed up.
I took it to the dealer and they said its normal for Fsport and all bigger cars like E series mercedes and BMWs
Well I have a BMW M3 and have had it for years and never had a squeal cold or not so that doesn't seem to hold water.
My question is what is the way to fix this as its very embarrassing to take clients out.
I have done some searching and want to know what is truly the best solution that is still safe?
What I have seen in search
Toyota pad replacements
Akebono ceramic pads
EBC yellow / green
Brake disc quiet lube/solution
are the lexus shims the answer
I would really appreciate the help thanks so much everyone.

I had same problem on my car and I brought it to the dealer.
They checked my brake pad and told me that the brake pads still have lots of life left on them.
They installed anti-squeak shim kit(04945-30340)and the noise went away.

U already have all the tools u need in ur trunk. Jack and lug nut wrench to remove the wheel.
Just need a pair of big pliers to decompress the brake hydraulics and remove the pads, that's it.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
And get some brake cleaner and spray all over the brake parts while ur at it too.
I made a video on this by the way.
