Hope you guys know the dust reducing pad make more noise... buncha friggin whiners.
IMO, I've driven cars before and after the TSB. The cars that have the original pads brake much better than the TSB pads.
I think you guys just like finding a way to get free pads so you dont have to pay for a brake job... at least that seems to be a commonality between IS owners. By the way you can only perform the TSB once under warranty, and you cant make a brake noise complaint after having the pads switched.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

Am I the only one that doesn't notice an improvement in the amount of brake dust after having the TSIB performed? I swear I don't notice a difference but I did have it done and they even had to replace my rotors along with the brake pads at no extra cost.
But 2-3 days after a washed vehicle, the rims are just as bad as they were under the old brake pads. I'm going back in for my next oil change next week and have brought this up to them... hopefully they will do something about this.

If you notice no difference then they used the wrong pads. The difference is very obvious. You wouldn't be the first this has happened to. The good news is you'll be getting yet another free set of pads once you point this out to them and provide them with the correct part number to use. I'd also hit em up for a free oil change for making you bring the car in twice for them to get something so simple right.

That's what I experienced with low dust front pads installed in the summer (much less dust, slightly better and more linear brake feel, no noise).
For those that did not experience less dust after the pad change, check the part numbers on the invoice against the TSIB.

K, I just got this done yesterday and here is the part # and description that is on my invoice "04465-53030 PAD KIT, DISC BREAK". Does the part number suffix change depending on year or something?
I do notice quite a bit of a difference on the feel. I also can noticably tell by looking that these are not the stock breaks that were on the car before. The calipers are completely different (see pic below). They look a little bigger and have almost a "C" shape to them... odd. I thought that this TSB was the pads only, not the entire assembly?
I'm happy to get updated pads but actually a little dissapointed about the odd shapped calipers because I just ordered the white "Lexus" caliper stickers and had planned on painting once I get my new 19" WORKs.
It looks like I won't be able to put the stickers on with that huge hole in the middle of the caliper.

For the IS250 the old pads are 04465-53020 and the new ones are 04465-53030
For the IS350 the old pads are 04465-30410 and the new ones are 04465-30400
The change shouldn't have done anything at all to your calipers, pads only.
