They are OEM shims I bought from the dealership. Where in the manual does it state that? Even if you aren't supposed to grease them, I don't see how the anti-squeal lubricant would be causing the squeals.

9. Install the NEW No. 1 and No. 2 anti-squeal shims on the brake pads. Do NOT apply any
grease to the pads or shims.

It starts around 25mph with medium braking. Yesterday I was driving through Hot Springs and they were squealing like crazy. Today however, not one bit. It's so weird.

I'm hoping this is the case. I will be back in San Diego soon so I'll be able to change them. Once I get my new rotors, I have to bed the brakes the same way as when putting in new pads right?

From what a couple of my friends, who are more into cars than I am , have done is they'll replace or resurface the rotors then lightly sand down a little material from the brake pads. It worked on a scion i used to drive, should be the same for lexus. if you DONT sand down the pads a little bit then slap new rotors on, I think it'll still squeak since now the pads surface is glazed.
I guess what i'm trying to say is:
1: replace or resurface rotors
2: sand down brake pads lightly and evenly
3: shims/ lube
4: test drive!
5: have a beer or two.

Could the grease cause the squealing?
