Hey guys, I'm in need of new brake pads for my '06 IS250 MT. I'm just price shopping around right now, and finding what model brakes fit with my car. I can't really find a comprehensive table or anything, but Amazon does a check and finds out if it's compatible with my car. My question would be....how reliable would this be? I don't really want to buy a set of brakes, and then open up my calipers and everything, then find out the brakes don't fit.

This is what I've found so far that's supposed to fit my car...correct me if I'm wrong
DP31772C EBC redstuff fronts
DP31586C EBC redstuff rears
HB566Z.688 Hawk ceramic fronts
HB562Z.612 Hawk ceramic rear
ACT1178 Akebono ceramic fronts
ACT1113 Akebono ceramic rear

I've been reading upon these brands... I know I've seen quite a few people recommend the EBC redstuffs. I want them to be low dust, as it's really annoying how my wheels become a different color after a week or two. The EBC and Hawks seem really highly rated, but they're also pricey...(1.5x-2x as much as the Akebono). Any suggetions or inputs would be great. My only two requirements are low dust and good life. I don't really push my car that hard, so all the "super performance track use" stuff would all be pointless to me.

Thanks!

I have the EBC redstuff front/rear. The squealing noise on these are awful. I've driven about 1000 miles on them and they are still producing the squeal noise (recommended 1500 break in). The dust was pretty bad at first but, has died down to almost none. I would honestly go with OEM dustless brake pads if I had the chance to do it over again.

just be sure to pick the low-dust ones, and be sure to register with your CL forum name to see the discounted price.

I'm pissed the dealer put new pads on my car a month ago and didn't do the low dust ones.

^^ Ask them to change the front pads to low dust (refer to TSIB), some CL posters have succeeded with that request.

I've installed the lexus low dust ones and wow what a difference.. It's like there is no dust at all after driving from texas to st. louis and back.. definitely would recommend

I replaced my pads recently and just went with the OEM ones.
