Default I guess its time to replace the brake pads

I keep hearing the grinding noise when braking and its coming from one of the front tires.

I want to buy the low dust pads this time. Can anyone recommend a good brand?

Thanks

Same here. How many miles you got on those pads?

I bought the car new, never replaced pads. The car now has 15,900ml. For some reason I thought that they would last a bit longer than 15k.

I just took off my hawk hp after 10k miles. Too dusty and started to squeal. I replaced with akebono pro act from tire rack and they are great!

I had 7mm front and rear at my last service around 21k miles. Replacement isn't until 3mm by Lexus recommendation.
