Question Front Brakes on IS350

Has anyone changed out there Brakes on there 350 yet? and if so is it hard to do? I was thinking about doing it myself. I have changed out brakes on my Expedition and RSX-S so I am pretty mechanically inclined but not sure if there is any difference for the Lexus cars. any help would be great.

do you need to change them already and how many miles do you have your car?

Changing out pads and rotors are easier than most people think. As long as you have the proper tools and can tighten everything back to factory specs, you should be fine.

A friend of mine changed out his and he never said anything bad about the job, which tells me it's not tough. It's the roters that need to be re surfaced.

You can get one for free from your dealer. Check out the Suspension sub-forum here. It's under TSB Brake for IS350

Hope it helps!
