I have a 2003 GS300. When I apply the brake (stock brakes) after going a short distance (for example, backing out of a parking space), I hear a loud clunking noise. It sounds like the brakes are just engaging, but should it really be that loud? It seems like it only happens when I step on the brakes. There doesn't seem to be any problem in the actual performance of the brakes, there is only this noise. I'm going into Longo Lexus this friday for my 20k mile service, but I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this so I can go into the service department with some knowledge about it. Thanks for you help.

So it 's normal then, right? Also, does anyone know the average life of an OEM brake pad? I'm also hearing a squeaking noise when I apply the brakes. Thanks
