Pole Position
I have a LS460 but not the F-Sport imported by previous owner from Singapore. Front brakes squeak like a banshee, rather embarrassing. They won’t be eligible for any TSB work. When I first had her the dealer gave me a 12month insurance warranty. They paid for a new actuator to try and fix it. Needless to say didn’t work, never thought it would. Have put up noise for two years😏. Now got time to try and resolve myself.
Any suggestions for what I could fit here in NZ.

I did consider returning her when I first got it, but such a great car to drive I figured I’d get around to sorting it at some point!

Resurrecting this thread for anyone looking into new brake pads with less/zero noise. Spent time researching all the threads. The solutions below are what I have done previously and just did recently to get rid of the squealing, brake noise, etc.
Solution 1: If you are able to get the TSB done, do it. It worked flawlessly. When it came time to replace brakes again, same part numbers were used and had zero noise. (Part #04465-0W200). Parts was about $344.
Solution 2: Power Stop Z23-1440 Brake Pad Kit. Parts around $44.00 compared to OEM at $344. Less grabby, but still performs exceptionally well in my opinion. No noise so far. But I will report back if anything comes up. Significantly less brake dust vs. the OEMs. Just to have less dust alone is reason for me to stick with the Power Stops especially with the F Sport wheels having 20 spokes.
Feel free to DM me if you have any questions, getting the squealing noise removed was a significant weight off my shoulders!

I’m glad TSB worked for you. Unfortunately, it didn’t for me when I had it done about 7 yrs back.
As I posted earlier, Z23s have worked flawless for my Fsport. I have R1 concepts slotted drilled rotors & can stop on a dime. They look pretty cool too!

I also had them on my previous car w/ brembo brakes and they lasted over 4 yrs. I sold my car with them still on too.
mind you, I’m easy on my cars & don’t brake hard unless necessary.
