Brake pads
I know there has been threads on this before but maybe there are new options now??
I replaced mine about 5000 miles ago with OEM pads (what a waste of $50)and im about to pull my hair out, im SICK of the damn brake dust on my rims its INSANE ive never owned a car that has it this bad, i wash my car every week and my rims are CAKED in dust every week... I want to get rid of these POS pads ASAP.
Anyone got a suggestion on pads i can use that dont have this issue,dont cost an arm and a leg and dont make noise??

I got mine replaced to dustless under TSB twice. One for my 07, the other for the 08. In about both cases, when I gotten both cars, they came with new pads since it was CPO, but it was the dust ones!!

Yeah, supposedly the "official" (ie what they use at the factory) pads switched to the low dust ones sometime mid-production-year on 2009 models, so I'd expect 2010s to come with low-dust pads unless they reversed themselves at some point after that.
As far as I know they never switched to the low dust pads at the factory. 2011's are still coming with the same pads 2006's came with.
(This is from looking at what is listed in the parts catalog, and looking at the amount of brake dust my wheels have on them after a day or two -- a lot).

2008-09 is the starting production date, which means September, 2008. Of course, that means, 2009 models. GSE20 and GSE25 indicate IS250 RWD,and AWD, respectively. GSE21 indicated IS350. Notice the 04465-30400 part number for the GSE21. It's the same part number that's in the brake dust TSB as the replacement pad. This is the first time this part number has appeared in the IS catalog. 2006-2008 models all had 04465-30410's. Still doing research for the 250.
Here's a shot of the IS350, 2006-2008. Notice the production dates. Aug, 2005 thru Aug, 2008.

So either they changed back after that... or they only changed it for the 350... or they didn't change it in Canada where Jeff is... (or some combination of the above)
