Brake noise won't go away
I bought my IS350 used about 3 months ago. The first month or so I didn't hear any brake noise but about 2 months ago I started to hear squeeking out of the front brakes. I took the car in to the dealership and they said the brakes looked fine and there was nothing wrong with it. They told me to just wash them off ever once in a while and that should take care of the noise. I tried that and it gets ride of the squeeking for about a day and then it returns. Is this common? I don't think I should be hearing my brakes squeek every time I try to brake.

my buddy that works at the lexus of cerritos(CA) told me that this is an issue for all or most 2IS models. this is because when it was in r&d it was tested on the track and braking was always done at high speeds, not taking into consideration slow braking, and thus resulting in the brake squeeks at low speeds.

hmmm well what we do at our shop when installing new pads and rotors to prevent this is spray on a nice coat of a synthetic grease on the back of the pads and the sides where they slide into position of the bracket. but prior to that on NEW brake pads we SLASH a few lines verticly and horizontally so that there isn't a slick SMOOTH on SMOOTH surface contact when you press the brakes. No customer so far has come back due to brake noise other than eventual visits to get the brakes replaced again. (peep smust really be hard on their brakes nowadays) :P
hope this helps.

I only could find this. They changed the rotors on my car though. Oh well. Free rotors and pads
