Well I have a few comments on all this.
My 2008 Performance Brake Pads only lasted me about 19,500 miles.![Thumb Down](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsdown.gif)
They are done & down to the sensors in less than 13 months..
I blame Los Angeles traffic.. LoL..![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
The High-Friction pads are too grabby and at times in traffic very annoying. &
Yes the brake dust is annoying for me too.. even with my Gunmetal wheels.
The High-Friction pads also wear out much quicker and wear the rotors much quicker as well.
When compared to the Alternative brake pads.
Either way, these pads (both low & high dust) cost approx $60 at your local dealership..
For the record:
High-Friction Pad Part# is: 04465-30410
Alternative Low Dust Pad Part# is: 04465-30400
This low dust pad part number has been around since 2006.
I will be doing a pad slap this week & I will be giving the Alertantive Pads a try this second time around...

Just got this service done today. Found out they went on a test drive with out my permission. Noticed someone went out for a little joy ride. When I left my car there, my gas was 70%. When I got it back it was close to 55%. Also, had a scratch on my trunk. Thank god I looked around. They brought it to a department to buff it out and polish and it wouldn't come off. I have to bring my car in again for them to wet sand it and polish it. If that doesn't work I have to get my whole trunk repainted..Lexus SUCKS!

im getting the TSIB on my 07 IS as we speak. I do actually like that grabby feel since its the same feel as my BMW. I hope the braking won't be mushy like the ES loaner car I'm driving now. how do the post TSIB brakes feel compared to ES?

New to CL, first post actually. Recently got an 08 IS250 and the dealership replaced my pads today free of charge, if it wasn't for browsing around on the forum I probably would have never known about the TSIB. Thanks guys!

shoot i wish i read this thread before i went to the lexus dealer today, just did my 6month maintenance.
So let me make sure, if i go into my dealership and show them this TSIB they can't refuse it correct? i freakin hate cleaning my brake dust!!

Sorry, Joe, it's the other way around. The 30410's are the originals. The 30400's are the less dusty TSB pads.

I got this last Thursday and the brakes feel SO much better. Before, I just thought about stopping and the car stopped short and jerked forward.
That + the dust were top reasons that I have not been crazy about this car. Happy to be able to fix both in one shot.

Probably a good idea to kill my quote in your post, so I don't confuse anyone...

Due to the crazy market last week, i had no time to pick up these low dust pads..
I am not even going to bother to take it in to the dealership for the TSB..
1) I am down to the sensors (pads are toast)
2) I can't deal with some one I don't know working on my car.
