The problem with squeaking was listed on the sticker on the door I think. Same warning that indicated tires would last less than 10k miles

Question: do they still squeak when hot?

LOL you sound like you should be driving a IS250...haha jk

Just put some decals on it - I hate one thing about Lexus brakes, these things have TOO MUCH BRAKE DUST! The wheels get dirty after one day of driving whereas my NSX for some odd reason creates NO BRAKE DUST on stock pads?

Here's my Brembo's...hehe

No idea at all about what to do for the squeaks. I replaced the pads myself to get rid of the brake dust. Good luck!

break noise is a norm for me. Started around 4000 miles and continues today. Noise is more persistent as the wheel gets more dirty (brake dust). I just live with it.

rebed the brakes. do a few high speed runs, and stop HARD.. will burn the glaze off the pads, and the squeak will go away. Repeat when it comes back.

i have my F for a year with over 7k miles and never had squeak once. i have never intentionall done any bed in, but i do drive very hard with lots of WOT and hard braking maybe those are equivalent to bed in.

try the bed in a few times, if that did not work, change different brands of pads. if that still did not eliminate your squeaks, learn to live with it.
