Correct on all...I do put a thin layer of the grease on the shim, but would think either way will be fine...when you get the pads and compare the old ones to the new ones you will see...the c max are a much higher quality pad

Finally got around to putting in my new pads up front to fix my dirty wheel problem!!!
Used autozone c max gold, it's their best pad, and I can say it's a higher quality pad then what was in there...
Almost zero dust, brake performance is just about as good, maybe a little less initial bite...all in all, very happy to once again fix a dirty wheel from brake pads problem again, this time I only waited 4 months!!
DGC1586 was the part I used...
Takes longer to take wheel off then it does to swap out the pads

Hey I noticed that 2 has that metal clip and 2 don't. What are those clips for? I didn't pay attention when installing and they both went in fine.

Yes, here:
I know there is a good write up already done on the IS350, but thought I might as well snap some pics when I do mine.
WHAT YOU NEED
-Brake pads
-C clamp
-Brake cleaner
-Pliers
Install time 45-60mins
Take wheel off
Ta-Dah!
Remove clip, then remove pin. Helps if you push down on the metal plate
Take c clamp to push together front and rear pads
Pads removed. Take this time to clean shims, clip and pin
Installed, reverse process and you did it
Super easy, I don't even change my own oil and felt this was a sinch. Saves you money, take for instance local Lexus dealer wanted close to 400.
I used Akebono ACT1118, highly recommend them. Better than Oem, no noise. Amazon.com: Akebono ACT1118 ProACT Ultra-Premium Ceramic Brake Pad Set: Automotive
