IS350jet

Finally! It looks like Lexus has decided to use the GS450h pads in place of the dusty IS350 pads. The bulletin # is BR002-06.

Thanks!

I was planning on changing them when I change my tires...

I also find that the brake dusts are really easy to accumulate on the front wheels. But just like any other brake pads, there're always compromise. I guess I would stick with these dusty pads since they do give very good performance. I just have to wash the car more often.

This will solve our major break dust but will take away breaking performance. This is something to think about. Would you guys rather have dusty breaks that perform good or non dusty break pads that could lessen the performance?

rather have better braking with more dust thanks

better tires will offset the performance.

The TSB states that the braking performance may be reduced under certain conditions. I guess I will live with the brake dust for now.

I agree, However, it would be great to get feedback from someone who made the switch

Does anyone know what kind of materials are the GS450h pads? I would assume the dusty pads are either organic or semi metallic. Ceramic will emit the least dust but can get squeaky sometimes.

I feel like owning a BMW all over again.

Don't know the material but here's the pic of each one with the GS450h on the left.

Honestly, the brake dust that I experience on my current IS250awd is just about the same as it was on the BMW... Just like on the BMW, I like my brakes now and don't want to change them for some dustless pad and compromise the rotar or even the braking ability.... meaning, I'm just gonna live with it...
