New Brake Pads

What are good brake pads for the IS350, that minimizes dust and still upholds performance?
I dont want to go with TSIB, so Im open for information and suggestions!!

I honestly don't think that you can go wrong with the updated pads, I have them on my 250 and honestly IMO they provide overall better braking performance than the originals, remember they key word is overall. I think that alot of people are confusing the difference in pedal effort(which is minimal) with braking performance, a hard pedal is not a good indicator of braking performance. How about doing this, have the tsb performed at no cost to you(as long as your pads still have some life left in them) and if you don't like it then dig into your wallet and pull out some greenbacks for different pads, but be honest and give the new pads from Lexus a chance.

I got the TSIB done the best part is that it was free, other than that the performance side sucks! LOL Im gonna go with EBC Reds after this, I had the greens and I thought they were good, especially with the dust, it takes about 2weeks before any sign of dust.

Why do you say the performance side sucks? A large number of us agree they actually work better than the original pads. What don't you like about them?
