Is300h F Sport Pads and Discs all round

[TheBro72]

I've got a friend who is replacing my front and rear pads and discs on my 2013 Is300 FSport. Does anyone know if I require brake sensors at least on the front?
When I've contacted Euro Car Parts and gave them my registration their systems are telling them that they aren't required? 

Cheers in advance

Not required because the IS300h doesn't have electronic brake sensors - just mechanical pieces of metal that will scrape the disc if the pads wear down too much.

Thanks so much!

Although the pads and discs need replacing. I've got a mad squeaking noise coming from one of the corners when the wheels are in motion. Do you think worn disc/pads could be the reason for this noise?

Possibly, it could also be the pads not pulling back from the discs because the calliper sliding pins are starting to seize and will need to be lubricated.

I had that noise and it was one of my rear brake calipers sticking - check if one wheel is warmer than the others after driving around for a while - if so that's the wheel with the sticking caliper. It may be possible to get it working again or may need replacing (I had mine replaced along with discs and pads). My IS 300h is 2014 reg with 152k miles and rear discs and pads were still original before the sticking caliper.

Just make sure your friend uses the correct grease i.e lithium soap based glycol grease on the slidepins and on the brake hardware. Else the rubber bands on the slide pins will swell and cause it to seize.

Also make sure the old brake shims are properly lubed and re-used. It will help prevent squeaks. Also use good quality discs and pads like EBC or the original Lexus ones.

You could also consider Pagid discs/pads

Thank you!
Yeah that squeaking noise is bloody irritating and embarrassing! Never knew which wheel it was coming from so will try what you said
My car is a 63 plate but its only done 45k so I'm hoping it a straight forward fix and doesn't need replacing.   👍🏾

I've gone for what was available from the supplier  - Jurid disc and pads?

If the problem is the rear caliper and sticking slide pins stopping in releasing properly then from what others have said they can be rebuilt and continue working. I had mine replaced FoC by Lexus under the 10 Year Plus Extended Warranty I purchased (Lexus wouldn't bother trying to rebuild the caliper, simply replaced it - TBF they are not that expensive for the age/miles mine has done if I'd had to purchase it). Lexus said that mine was sticking quite badly (struggled to rotate the wheel on the ramp) but didn't way whether it caused by slide pins sticking or whether it was something else. The pads had nearly worn out though on the side that was sticking but plenty of life left on the other side (even at 150k miles...)

How did this go for u in the end?

I must change my discs and pads soon and wondering is there any brands recommended or to avoid when ordering.

I got mintex pads one for a previous car and they clanked everytime the pedal was pressed.

Ended up replacing them with genuine ones. Going OE is costly though.
