did you make an appointment when you first bought it in? If you made an appointment they should have done it on same day and make another appointment for 2 weeks later . Telling you they are too busy with an appointment is unexcusable. I would have left my car there and tell them have it ready tommorow and a loaner car for inconvenience. These perks should come with a 50k+ vehicle.

No i did not make an appointment. I walked in to get LPS and disable my DRL. I dint know make an appointment. Doing your LPS and disablying the DRL took less than 15 minutes.

FWIW, had the dealer perform the TSB a couple weeks ago on my '07 and brake dust is minimal (a vast improvement from the original pads). On the highway doing 75 mph+, there is minimal difference braking hard (I could feel the original pads grip the rotors). That doesn't mean the new pads provide more stopping distance (and if they do, I doubt it will result in a matter of life or death). 99% of the time it's how you modulate the brakes.

The new pads work great. Get the TSB done with no worries.

just got my low dusting pads put on. What a big difference in the lack of dust. i dont notice a difference in the braking. Well worth it.

Agreed. The beauty of looking at your wheels not covered in dust is priceless.

I did the swap out, and resurface of all roters awhile back (5K miles) and overall I couldn't be happier.
Honestly I noticed a difference that actually made me consider putting the old ones back on, when stopping was taking into consideration.
The old pads, orriginal ones, stoopped on a dime, and reacted alot better.
Initially I was able to notice it immediately.
After a few weeks, I probably just got used to it and not I don't notice it.
BUT I do find these new pads to be a little "softer" feel, meaning slower break.
The other were so sensitive which I loved and I wish I could have the best of both worlds.
BUT you can't not with the OEM pads, so in the end I would rather my wheels stay looking nice, while only sacrificing a "little" bit of sensitivity.
Would recommend it, but in my mind if you want the BEST BREAKING no matter the amount of break dust, stick with the originals, but if you care about break dust, the sacrifice isn't that significant to most, so I would recommend the change.

Had the TSIB done a while ago. My brakes started squealing about a month ago. Mostly after the car has been sitting for a while. It's a bit humiliating to roll up in front of people in the Lexus and have the brakes squeal. Has anyone else had this? When I mentioned it on the phone to service, he simply said, "Hmm. You had the TSIB done, right?" I'm supposed to take it in next week for reg. maintenance.
