Low dusting pad update

I just read the PDF on the brake pads. It only gives .6 to .7 hours labor to the dealer and makes no mention of machining or replacing the rotors. It looks like they just want the dealer to replace the pads and let the new pads seat into the rotors. If some dealers are machining or replacing the rotors they may very well be absorbing that themselves or possibly goodwilling the expense as it doesn't look like Lexus is taking care of that under the normal warranty claims procedure.![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)

the dust is just as bad as the bmw, but thank god the stock rims are gun metal in colors, so it's not THAT bad.
there is no perfect pads out there, high performance and low dust, but seems like people are happy with the TSIB, perhaps I will try it on the 08.
if you think this is bad, get a brembo BBK with brembo pads, now that's dust.

Am I the only one who doesn't want an increase in stopping distance. I will not upgrade the pads for fear of the decrease in performance. I don't care how much dust I get on the wheels, a noticeable increase in stopping distance is not worth little dust on the wheels.

Driving defensively is your best bet. Not tailgating, not speeding in urban areas etc. etc.

I have not noticed a decrease in stopping performance with the updated pads. I don't see why Lexus should keep offering this as a TSIB and make it a permanent solution to a "dirty" issue.

I requested pads be replaced at 5000 mile check-up on my '07 GS350, about 2 weeks ago. I was told there had been another update on the pad TSIB, and pads were on order. About a week later took the GS350 back for the pad replacement. Got a call an hour before I was to pick up the car and was told by the service manager they needed to fix the roters too. Not sure exactly what they did. They kept the car for one night. I kept the loaner. Picked GS350 up the next day. I appreciate not having excessive break dust anymore. The wheels stay so much cleaner. I have not notice any change in the braking. Glad I had it done. Anyone else been told there was an issue with the roters at the time of the brake pad TSIB on their GS350?

Introduction: Some Lexus vehicles are equipped with high-friction front brake pads, specifically designed for superior braking performance and response. As a result, under certain conditions, it is possible for the customer to experience a larger volume of brake dust on the wheels. For customers who find these characteristics objectionable, an alternative brake pad material has been developed. As with any change made to brake pad material, braking performance and feeling may be altered and could possibly be reduced under certain driving conditions as a result of their usage. These alternative front brake pads have now been made available as service parts.

Flipside, do you know if the older pads can be ordered by the customer, and if they are even available for sale? I want the high friction pads again. The information you gave below is exactly the part number the parts guy told me. I'm assuming they did two brake jobs with the exact same pads.

I don't see why not. If they're still being put on the production models, you should be able to order them.
