OEM-money where my mouth is for LS400

Having bashed on about good quality non OE ok but OE better...wallet was out in preparation for Christmas hols.

My brake warning lights/messages are on and I’ve the accompanying grinding.

Genuine front discs and pads plus VAT and postage were £195 from Lexus Birmingham. That’s cheaper than many quality non OE parts.

I got genuine Lexus rear pads from the 'lexusofficialstore' on eBay & my indi put 'Brembo' front pads for my MOT as the lexus eBay store did not have any front pads for my car, lots here use brembo & they have proved very good pads on my '95 LS400.....

Yep well I had a brembo set up on my XKR and they are quality. They’ve gone more mass market over the past few years and if they’ve maintained their standards then they are probably an upgrade...as long as the pads have the same ceramic content as the Toyota.
