I think the TSIB is just for the 350 model.

I did today the brakes TSIB to my IS250 at 1,700 miles without any complaints at our only great dealer! (Lexus de San Juan), and the dealer knows about it. The correct part number is even listed on my job summary.

Para tu inf.
Hola Carlos, te dire que no frena igual de sharp, pero frena bien. Ahora el problema del polvito y de andar con el aro prieto se fue. Hoy le di pela y se ve igualito de limpio que ayer, un éxito.

Saludos....

FYI
It doesn't stops sharp as with OEM's but it works nice. But the problem of having the front wheels dirty all the time is history. After a whole day of using my car it is clean!!!...

Which TSB is this and what does it apply to? I just picked up a 2006 is 250 from some guy in Juncos for just over $36k. It only had 4k miles on it and already had 20" HP Design wheels installed. I'm from Bayamon. You?

Ya le instalé el Tanabe Medallion Touring y el Injen SP intake. Los conseguí baratitos en www.showstoppersusa.com. Envío fue sólo $80. Saludos!

Yea, you should be ok to get them replaced. The difference in braking will probably not even be noticeable.

I'm in. Me avisan cuando se vayan a encontrar por ahí en los carros. No conosco a nadie con un carro de estos. Sólo conosco a CarlitosPR.

En cuanto a los frenos: a los que ya cambiaron las pastillas (pads), han notado alguna diferencia en cuanto a cómo frena el carro? Dejenmelo saber, me interesaría hacer esto si no le va a afectar la rapidez y fuerza con la que frena el carro.
