Anyone with an IS 250 use the TSB on the brakes yet?

I feel the pain for all the IS250 owners including myself.
After 10 miles of driving I have a coat of brake dust on the wheels. And after 40 miles I can visually see heavy dark spots of brake dust on the wheel. So this means I have to clean my wheel EVERY DAY because you can easily see brake dust in a short amount of miles.
So the people that said the IS250 doesnt create that much brake dust as the IS350 are dead wrong.
The IS250 definitely needs a TSB for the brakes pads on the IS250.

I started a thread about calling lexus about the manual transimission problem:

We should start a similar thread also. All the 250 owners call lexus and complain about it, I believe they will do something about it....

Why is there such a sense of entitlement regarding this?
There is no manufacturing defect here. The brakes work as they should, generating the dust they need to perform due to the materials selected. Why is there no buzz asking for a TSB for tires that last longer, or engines that give better mileage, colors that get more girls, etc.... ?
Complaining so much about this only makes Lexus think that people rather have clean wheels than cars that stop optimally. I'd rather save my complaints for real issues that need immediate attention rather than have it drown in a sea of brake dust complaints.

i think the 250 getting shafted has something to due with the is350 having different brake pads... maybe the 350 has way more brake dust than the 250. all i know is my 350 gets brake dust after a daily commute of 50 miles. it also prolly has to due with the interchangability of the gs450h brakepads. i dont think lexus is willing to r&d new brakepads for the is250 unless itll be used on other cars.
