2008 GS300 Brake Squeal.

[Garus]

My GS300 brakes developed a very annoying high pitch squeal. It only happens when I apply my breaks at a certain pressure (the most optimum pressure) but not when I press the pedal lightly or hard.

I had my car serviced at Sydney City Lexus least month and they confirmed there is about 70% of brakes left and the only way to get rid of the squeal is to replace the discs and pads which sounds like an overkill.

Have any of you dealt with the same issue and have any suggestions for the most cost effective way to deal with it?

Many thanks.

well your brake pads could be a problem or your disc

using aftermarket cheap products can cause this

I have used Brembo pads, Brembo P83072N for front & P83073N for rear, which comes with a brake paste and anti squeal shims with 100% success in eliminating the noise issues with the brakes.
