Or you could decide that Lexus engineering knows what is best for performance and decide to keep the standard pads rather than put replacement pads on that may produce less dust, but may also compromise long term wear of the rotors. Your choice. Performance or image?? I'm staying with the performance that was engineered in. A two minute wipe with a towel solves any brake dust issue. No biggie.

Its confirmed, the part number 04465-53040 which I have are actually the oem brake bads for all 2008 is250 and are still the pads which have dusts.
I should have gotten part number 04465-53030 which in fact are the dustless ones.
Just posted this new info for others that have gotten the tsb done, the 2008 pads do have dust and the part number is below.
Now the question is this:
The warranty is for 4 years/48,000 miles. I have had my car for 26 months and have 25k miles. Should I wait until right up to the warranty is about to expire to bring it back in because they didn't do the correct tsb or should i just get it done again?
Any input would be great, thanks.
