Yeah, I had the EBC red stuff before, I think it is too hard for our rotors. I just replace my rotors and go back to the new OEM brake pads (83.45 for the front and 63.45 for the rear.)

You were referring to the OEM pads at Lexus right?

and how does the dust vs. the OEM "less dust" pads?

I like the performance they give! I do get less dust in the front but its not a huge difference. I do get more dust in the rear now then I did. But they also have a break in period and material so its hard for me to tell at this time. I feel no problems with them and we have different rotors on the IS350 then on the IS250 so maybe this is where someone else had some issues?? I will play it out to see what happens. Worse case I end up with some new rotors or go back to the stock pads!

Brian231, Yeah, the new OEM pads @ LEXUS. I should have taken some pixes. They are very different than the org. that come with the car. With the new OEM pads I also get less dust.
