I wanted to get mine done with the carbotech. But with only 30K miles on a 2011 should I also replace the rotors if still in good shape?


any suggestions?

 

I wouldn't replace them if it wasn't necessary. Do you have Brembos on your 2011?

 

Yes, Brembos on the front. Already had the dealer replace, helped with the squeal but still comes back now and then.
But the wheels on the 2011 sport are really hard to clean and the extra dust makes it worse.

 

I'm in the same position (major squealing at certain times): What do I ask the dealer to do? What type of pads? Front/rear/both?

 

Front only. It's been discussed at length here.

 

Going in tomorrow to get the brake squeal fixed. I asked the service tech to give me info on what type of pad, etc. He said that it's a diff. design that dissipates heat and thereby reduces the glaze that creates the squeal.

Keeping fingers crossed.

 

Looks as if any TSB prior to 2-24-16 is now obsolete.

 

if you have the 2010 ultra luxury, and appearance package with the chrome 19" wheels, do you have the brembo brake set up? this is my first lexus and I am unsure?

 

SO far no issues after the upgrade. Works like a charm

 

This mean they aren't doing it anymore?

 

No it means it's updated. I believe they're adding a shim kit to the mix.

 

Whether they fix it or not I think the problem remains... dusting is a biaaatch lol

 

I'm trying to find out if the new pads are ceramic but haven't gotten an answer yet.

 

If they're ceramic now and they really did fix the issue that the last bulletin didn't do anything, I'd say it's finally a worthy option.

Just pure curiosity for me now, that ship has sailed to go this way but good to know though.

 

I switched to the powerstop like a few mention in this thread. The dust is reduced by a lot however I still get alitte squeals every now and then. I only had the rotors resurface and replace the pads. Next time I'm going to swap out the rotors and pads hopefully the noise will be gone completely.
