I have to express my gratitude to lexusownersclub and the people who contribute to the forums because in the few days here I've saved a ton of money.
First I was going to make the mistake of shelling out over $650 for 4 Michelin MXV4 Plus tires, but after reading all the posts on the Falkens being almost comparable, I only spent $341. I like these cheapo tires alot!
Second I was going to get a brake job for the braking vibration/shudder since my 2003 ES300 had 26,200 miles, but the TSB BR002-02 seems to address this issue, and if the dealer does fix this under warranty I would save about $300.
I also discovered there was another TSB that addressed an issue that had been irking me - that was the dashboard rattle at the base of the windshield. The dealer had told me they couldn't find anything wrong or hear anything, but if there was no problem why the TSB NV001-04 JAN 04 Body - Rattle/Tick Noise From Base of Windshield ???
Anyway I hope to contribute as much as I can, and of course learn as much from everyone here.
Have a great evening!
