Im about to change my brake pads, but im not sure if I should get the low dust pads or the regular pads...Sewell offers both. Which pads are you guys using? (i want to stay stock)

neither - get the Akebono ProACT Ceramic (TireRack or even local parts store). Cost ~ same but they come w/ shims already attached (proper fitting I might add), low dust and absolutely no noise.

I recently replaced the OEM high dust pads with Akebono ProACT Ceramic brake pads. I would recommend these pads to anyone. Braking power is perfectly adequate when compared to OEM. They are silent (even while wet after a car wash) and produce virtually no brake dust. After 10 days of not washing my car the front wheels look exactly the same as rear. With OEM, the front wheels would be covered in dust by the time I drove back home from the wash and the pads squealed when coming to a complete stop.

yah they are blue...i dont think there is a different set for rear, just front. I doubt the stopping power is the same but shouldn't be a huge difference.

It's the latest front pads Lexus uses to correct the squealing noise since last year.
