What year is your car, what model do you have, and do you want the high friction or low dust pads? This is a 2IS thread, but your details say you have a 2014 IS350 F-Sport. If it's an IS350C, it's a 2IS, if it's an IS350 Sedan it's a 3IS.

2014 IS350 RWD Sedan F-Sport would have come with high friction pads.
2014 IS350 AWD Sedan F-Sport would have come with low dust pads.
2014 IS350 C F-Sport would have come with low dust pads in the USA and high friction pads in Canada.

I need details!

Jeff

 

Thanks so much for the info..I do have a 2014 IS350 RWD F-Sport..I'm looking for low dust options..

By the way I'm a Jeff too 👍

Thanks so much Jeff

 

Could I use the 04945-30330 shims for aftermarket brake pads? Or do they have to be oem? I'm swapping out my pads next week and it squeals so loud.

 

I would use 04465-30510 for your car along with 04945-30370 shims.

If the aftermarket pads didn't come with shims, 04945-30330, 04945-30350 or 04945-30370 should work just fine for you. I couldn't say with certainty which would be best suited to the pads you've selected, but they are all very similar/almost identical. You should be good with any of them.

Jeff

 

Thanks Jeff!

 

I went with Akebono pads and Carquest Wearever rotors and have been very pleased with their performance. The Akebono pads make almost no dust and are squeal free. From what I've heard they manufacture the brake pads for Lexus and Ford as well as many other car companies. I was quoted over $400 to replace just the rear pads and resurface the rotors from the dealer...got four new rotors and did the front and rear pads for around $300. Moral of the story...I wouldn't be afraid to stray from OEM parts for brakes.

 

Jeff,

Are the front brake pad and shim part numbers 04465-30450 and 04945-30330 correct for a 2012 IS350 AWD? Are there any differences in years or RWD/AWD for the IS350 brakes?
Also, what are the correct part numbers for the front and rear rotors?
Thanks!

 

Yes, there are differences between AWD/RWD and Canada/USA.

04465-30450 are the correct pads and 04945-30330 are the correct shims for a 2012 IS350 AWD.

43512-30350 - Front RH Rotor
43516-30040 - Front LH Rotor
42431-30290 - Rear Rotors

Jeff

 

Are the 04465-30450 compatible with the 2014-Up IS350 f-sports RWD?

 

They would work, yes.

Jeff

 

Hi Jeff i'm from Toronto Ontario a Canadian guy too, i have a 2010 is250 AWD, i know you're a super Pro so i ask, i had cross drilled and hole rotor with aftermarket pad, i'm currently experiencing with TICK TICK TICK noise when apply the brake its worst when i drive beside the wall or highway barrier, ofcourse we all stumped over here doesn't matter what the tick tick tick will still there, i'm looking for solution and clues from some Pro like you, what do you think Jeff ? thanks in advance bro.

 

Jeff, is there a 'low-dust' OEM front brake pad for the Lexus 2017 IS200t F Sport? The OEM websites that I see don't show the 04465-30450 pad as an alternative for the 2017 IS200t F Sport.
Thanks John

 

The IS200t uses the same brake setup as the IS350, so all of the information in this thread applies to them as well.

I would use 04465-30510 for your car along with 04945-30370 shims.

Again, these are not the pads that came on the car and as such will not likely show up as applicable on websites that sell Lexus parts. They are however correct for the car.

Jeff

 

 

Can anyone provide part numbers for the rear pads and shims? Rotors are 42431-30290 as noted above
