I believe you are supposed to save the anti-squeal shims from the brake pads that exist on your car. At least that's how I remember when my friend and I changed the pads on my ES a couple years back.

the repair manual says replacing those shims when replacing pads.
I'm just guessing that dealer should sell pads together with those shims. At least my
Honda dealer did this. It's not like we buy cheap pads from autozone or advanceautoparts.

Anyway, I got to use those old shims. Probably no big deal. Oh I remember that I bought
some oil filters from my local Toyota dealer and they come without the little plug gasket
and I have to buy a gasket for like a buck.

Cool

You keep the shims off the old pads to re-use. Be sure to use anti-squeak on every surface.

Lexus-parts.com sells new anti-squeal shims for all Lexus brakes. They're very inexpensive to buy.
