Just got off the phone with my local dealer parts guy. They have the kit in stock, going to have them perform the TSB before I pick up my car on Feb. 21.

Thanks, philj

 

I was told I need to put a few miles on the car then they would be glad to do the TSB.

 

I did not realize that it would cost even close to that to change to the regular LS brakes.
And would not even consider it until it needed new brakes.
I have about 6 months before I will need new brakes and I have to decide what to do with my 2011 sport.
On one hand I hate to take way anything that is advertized as an upgrade. But on the other hand I have never heard anyone complain about the stopping power of the regular LS 460 brakes.
I think Lexus designed the regular brakes to be top quality and more than sufficient for the car.
I also find the brembos to be a little too touchy for me. And again think Lexus has always had good R & D to make good brakes on their own.

 

Mine sometimes squeal at slow speed stops. Only hear it with window down. Will new parts fix this?

 

Local So Cal dealer Longo told me I would have to pay for this Service Bulletin. My car is 2011 and still under warranty. Is this the case?

 

Had the TSB installed at no charge. Thumbs up to Lexus of Cerritos. I will run a few weeks and report back.

 

8 days later, epic failure. The fix moved the squeal from a 5mph speed to about 10mph and much louder. Looks like I will have to install the Stoptech or similar non OEM pads. What a pain.

 

Have you gone back to Lexus and asked what they will do. They replaced my pads and rotors and it did improve the squeal somewhat but it's still there. I don't think lexus has a solution.

 

I'm very impressed with the brembos on the LS. People complained about the GS F-Sport brakes (they are not brembo) and offers a TSB with a Chang of pads. My wife made note of squealing and they changed to new ones and no issues since.


Hey will they check out the 2014? TSB is 2010-2013.

 

I had my 2011 done and it definitely improved the results.

 

Got my '13 done today, Cautiously optimistic - so far, brake squeal is completely eliminated!

 

Here we go again, took my 2011 LS 460 sport to Lexus for the brake pad upgrade per TSB. This will be the 3 rd set of pads Lexus has installed. Hope this is the answer, I wiil advise.

 

Lexus installed the upgraded Brembo brake pads and after 1200 miles no squeal. Maybe they have finally found a fix. I hope so, I will keep you advised.

 

Awesome - I have the 2013 F sport and they have been squeeking....nice to see that they have solution for this.

 

My 14 FSport just started to squeel a little after 1700 miles. I will be taking it to the dealer for the TSB upgrade fix
