My wife is still on her factory brake pad set. Obviously there was a recall for these but not sure if mine would be covered so far out of the recall. Just wondering a good brake pad option to eliminate all that dust?
Any help..I searched but didn't turn up much except for the recall info

A couple of members run ebc red/green pads with good result. I myself run rotora pads with low dust. Any ceramic pads would do it.

If u go to sewell lexus parts (our forum vendor) u can get the "low dust" pads which are OEM from Toyota and what they use in the recall I believe. Not sure about aftern market pads, but there are quite a few. Hopefully someone can chime in if you are looking for non-OEM.

There was never a recall for this.
There was a TSIB though. If you went in, while under warranty, and told them your brakes produce too much dust, they would swap on the low-dust Lexus pads for free.
If you're out of warranty obviously it's not free, but it solves the problem.

thanks for the response guys..much appreciated
I am going in for 2 open recalls anyway on friday and I am going to mention the tsib to them and see what they say. I forget the mileage/years on the factory recall not sure if I am out of it
Otherwise probably just go with the oem low dust kits thanks for the tip on the forum sponsor

i was interested in getting some OEM pads to replace my front brakes as well, but they seem pretty pricey on sewell:

Register with your clublexus screen name and you see the discounted price of $77.52. (which you're not likely to find any substantially lower price than for OEM)

I installed the EBC Red (Ceramic) and it start to vibrate at high speed braking (60+mph). At lower speed the braking is awesome. I took the brake apart and found small black burn marks on the rotors. The local shop told me EBC Red is too rough for daily driving (even though it ceramic). I sand of the burn marks and install the low dust OEM version from Lexus and the problem goes away....
