rfcbuf Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 My GS 400 (1998) has a noticable clunk sound occasionally when applying the brakes. Seems like a common problem from the posts I've seen on this web site. Most responses indicate that the clips holding the pads need changing. Is it possible to change these clips after non-O.E. pads and non O.E. rotors have been installed or are the clips available only for the O.E. equipment. If the clips can be replaced on non O.E. pads, are the clips available from auto parts stores or only from Lexus dealers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGS300 Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I believe the shim kit is only available from Lexus. I've heard that the OEM pads are the best way to go as they usually elimate squeal, better then others. I think the shim kit will work with nonOEM pads, rotor don't matter. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
