Brake Pads

[LEXMAN]

Can we get decent Brake pads in Mel or Syd.

As the ones i get for my Vertex are the standard GS300 ones from lexus dealers and they make too much dust and are too expensive for what we get

$190 or 160 (trade) for front disk pads....cant we get good performance ones anywhere with less dust.

you want to get some EBC pads and disks

My IS used to spew brake dust - wheels were only ever clean for a few hours.

I changed them for EBC - significantly less dust - plus the grooved / spotted rotors look much cooler.

If you guys can't find a supplier - I can put you in contact with a few companies in the UK / US who sell them.

I paid £50 for 2 pads (143.697 NZD) and £150 for 2 disks (431.090 NZD)

kicker may be shipping, as they are very heavy.

okkkkk

Got some different pads but made in Malaysia...from an importer.

The reasoon i went to change the brake pads was the sweeking noise.

When removed brakes found brakes ok..only half used.

Hoewever the disks need machining. seems the brakes have grooved into disk.

Strange as i did not have this problem at my last brake change, and these were orig. from Lexus. Anyone had similar problems ?

thnks

Probably you should try Bendix, they have several different types, but if you want low dust, you should pick the deluxe plus.

By the way, these pads are the same pads as the famous Axxis pads in the US. (they are produced in Oz)

Hi Lexman,

what's up with your brakes? Try the Bendix. Good, and yet cheap.
