^^Your TL and the F are two totally different cars. Gotta pay to play with high performance cars.

I am curious as to how many have CONFIRMED the brake wear issues themselves vs listening to a diagnosis.

45K miles and my rear pads are still wearing fine. The fronts were swapped to test the raybestos rotors, but had life in them yet.

What do you think of the Raybestos vs OEM Brembo or Centric? Did you try their pads also?

I am curious as to how many have CONFIRMED the brake wear issues themselves vs listening to a diagnosis.

45K miles and my rear pads are still wearing fine. The fronts were swapped to test the raybestos rotors, but had life in them yet.

I changed my front pads at right under 24k miles with OEMs. I had 1mm left. Did the change myself and cleaned all of the pins, shims, and seating plate and applied the supplied Brembo anti-squeal. Measured the front rotors to be at ~45% thickness remaining. I have a set of Raybestos rotors ready to go when the originals are done. My rear pads and rotors are fine. And the best part is, I have no more brake squealing whatsoever!

I am very happy with the Rabestos rotors and HPS pads. The vent holes are showing no sign of residue and there is no squealing I can distinguish. Braking performance has been good for DD, however I have not run them at super high temps.
I still have it on my list to test the Centric solutions, but have had great experiences with Centric in the past for premium rotors.
Still working with my local Centric Dist to get all the flavors in to test.

Thanks Fig, do you plan on selling these through your website? It seems doubtful many will go with the expensive OEM parts.

 

[Fig]

there are so many places to get these commodity parts. I am just going to focus on other parts that no one is making.

Wow, I have a 09 IS-F and I just replaced my OEM front pads like, the beginning of this year! I had about 50,000 miles on them! Now I need some front rotors. I replaced my fronts with Hawk pads. Looking at replacing my front rotors with Stoptech's. Any one with advice?

 

[carcraz8]

OMG I just read thru these post! All i have to say is I have a 2008 isf with 53,000
that I purchase new and it has the original pads all the way around! Some one is getting fucked .

I came across a group buy thread for brakes on another forum Ill try to find and post up

 

[ISFMatt]

Found them... I came across these threads over on club lexus. It looks like speed-freaks.net has a group buy and a weekly special posted for the IS-F guys.

This is the weekly special which is Project Mu Club Racer rotors with your choice of low dust street pads.

Theres also a group buy with different street and track pads as well as the Club Racer rotors and even 2-piece GiroDisc rotors

Forgot to mention that pads and rotors can be purchased separately if you need pads but not rotors or vice versa.

I cannot get the brakes to stop sqeeling. Thy did it when it was raining. Put new Posi Quiet on as recommended by fellow lexus owners with sqeeling brakes. Now they sqeeling ALL the time. Any advise? I cannot even drive
It now for the embarrassing sqeeling.

^^^^Did you reuse or replace the shims on the pads? Not using the shims is the most common reason new pads squeak.
