hi
i am wandering what this is, it doesnt rub off.

thanks
Paul

i am referring to the brake caliber, it is all speckly my other brake calipers are like that aswell.

Looks like corrosion or some sort of pitting proberley caused by the salt on the roads over winter .i think other people on this site have the same problem.

is this type of corrosion possible to be replaced under warrenty

This topic has been discussed HERE before, and although the other topic is about the IS200 calipers, It is obviously the same problem. I believe the GS rear calipers are the same as the IS200 anyway.

the GS uses the same calipers as the IS2/3

This is the subject of some discussion at the moment on the IS forum (the thread Andy linked to).


There are a bunch of IS's with this exact problem.

Lexus seem to be saying that this is normal wear and tear, and to be expected

But if it is to be expected, why didn't the salesman tell me to take a photo of my car while it was new, 'cos in twelve months it will look like ****?
