^^^ i was thinking about doing that too... i wonder if it would work
As long as it's before 4yr/50k miles and you haven't done the TSIB yet it SHOULD work.
Some dealers will complain if your pads are pretty much gone, but the letter of the TSIB doesn't require any thickness at all left on the old pads.
I did mine at 10k not because my pads were gone, but because that might be the last time I'm at the dealership unless there's a problem (my 10k was free)
Shoulda bought EBC Redstuff pads. They are stickier than stock pads. They just grab better.
You do realize brake pads have absolutely no impact on stopping distance, right? Your EBCs stop the car in -exactly- the same distance as the Lexus ones do.
