Same deal here! However, I mentioned the TSB and they fixed it no questions asked. no charge!

Not true about common squeeking on the ISx50's, none on my IS350 with low-dust front pads installed last summer and other ISx50 owners on CL have not had a squeeking prob.

SA's obviously come with different levels of skill, experience, knowledge at all dealers and some are on the low side in all those areas .

Not true on the 2IS at least, which is the car we're talking about.

I've had the low-dust pads for about a year now, no squeeks at all. So have many many many others.

If you've got a supposed TSIB that says otherwise though feel free to post a copy.
