Stop Tech Slotted Front Rotors and Akebono ASP1118 pads with OEM Shims today.
126.44205SR (Right)
126.44204SL (Left)
Previous Setup (Squealed almost every time I reverse)
OEM Fsport 2 Piece
Akebono ACT W Akebono shims
The brake pedal does feels softer but the car stops much better then the previous setup.
These have no noise as now. Will update if they do. No pictures of them since it was too dark out and you can't really see them with the wheels I'm running.
I'll be putting Stoptech Drilled/Slotted for the rears since I got them for a good deal next week.
Hi, I just mounted Stop Tech Slotted Front Rotors (126.44205SR and 126.44204SL) and Akebono ASP1118 pads with OEM Shims on my car and it squeaks. The sound is horrible.... Don't you have this problem?

@bmwjavier Make sure you greased. The squeak/squeal is usually caused by the caliper hitting the metal backside of the pad.
I haven't had any issues since I installed them. Did you grease the pads and shims?

I did not greased the pads ans shims. What kind or brand of grease should I use? How do I have to do it? Please, could you put me a picture or a video of how I have to do it?

I just picked up some generic brake caliper grease from Autozone. I actually still had a faint squeal after greasing but only in very cold weather (like <40 degrees). I plan on re-greasing with the OEM dark Lexus grease when winter hits again.
I installed the front camera and fed it with power/ground and the rca output through the driver's side firewall. I'll connect it to the BeatSonic interface once it arrives. It's a 720p Amazon model, much cheaper than the BeatSonic cam. It looked good on even a larger external monitor I tested it on.
Sitting right behind the camera is the water injection pump and it associated liquid lines. The camera install was pretty clean with most wiring hidden in various cavities.
One last minute detail was that I should place a bit of clear paint protection film on the lens. Rock/debris chipping is almost guaranteed otherwise.
Paid off my GS this morning..Now to start thinking about that project car Ive been wanting and let slip by me before I picked up the GS..Old school KP61 Starlet...they are getting harder to find in decent condition and the one I let slip my had a built 3TC..dual 45 Webers man I could kick myself..

I finished up the front camera install. It was fairly easy since only the screen needed to be removed. I bought the OEM look button but the below is the standard one and it pretty hidden on its own. The operation is perfect and it's nice to be able to summon the backup camera as well whenever I want. The quality of the front cam isn't as good as I expected, it's on par with the backup cam and that's good enough for dodging parking obstacles.
