Check out your local auto parts stores or rockauto website. I was able to get a quote from a local carquest which was similar to rockauto prices so I will get them there to save on shipping. Only thing is I will have to wait a few days to get them from carquest.

I was in the same boat. I'd have to say you're probably out of luck. I brought my car in and mentioned the TSIB. They told me that they did indeed inspect them when I had the car in for a different TSIB/recall, but at the time, they were okay, so they didn't replace anything. They just cleaned it up and greased the pin. I brought my car in a couple of months ago hoping they would still cover it. They came back wihth a quote for $1200!! I ended up having them put it back together and bought the parts and did it myself. I think you would be better off buying remanufactured calipers vs. OEM replacements, especially if you can find them for $80. I paid $200 each from Sewell, but had the $500 gift card from Lexus, so I didn't really pay for anything.

Went to change my front pads yesterday and it all went well except one of the caliper slide pins was seized. I think bc of this, one of my pads was worn down to almost nothing. I'm going to to the store and get some PB Blaster later see if that works. Anyone know any tips or tricks to un-seize the bolt? I don't want uneven pad wear or any other trouble with the braking system.
