Excessive Brake Dust In '96 Sc400?


Recommended Posts

Hi:

Posting for a friend who doesn't know about this board, yet. She's the second owner of a

'96 SC400 and she's complaining about excessive brake dust. My searches of this board

for this issue have turned up very few complaints. I'm wondering if this is a common

complaint with that vintage of the SC, or maybe this car is running with some generiic

(non-factory) brake pads. Can anyone offer any guidance.

Thanks,

Charles

My 96 still has the factory pads (50k) & dust has not been a problem, your's have probably been replaced with after market generic pads. Stay with Toyota/Lexus pads, a lot of people prefer "Porterfield" pads because they leave hardly any dust.

what compound of porterfield?

their street compound does dust a lot. It's almost like a redish color to it.
