The mintex pads are very good and never had any problems with them not sure on the discs though as not heard of them? Have dealt with the seller a couple of times and has never let me down and the price is good for a disc/pads setup

Not sure if the discs & pads are the same between the Mk1 and Mk2's. The ebay link is for the JZS160 (Mk2) not the JZS147 (Mk1), yours is a Mk1.

Make sure the nuts are done up in the correct sequence, or you'll warp the next ones as well. 1-3-5-2-4 not 1-2-3-4-5.

Hey! I think this is bottom ball joints, and your problem too. My discs and pads are perfect (new) and I get the 70-60mph wobble thing... it's ball-joints and/or other links. This is typical.
Discs just made mine *slightly* better, but no fix.

Could well be true. At that age, the bushes around the car are likely to be worn, particularly the fronts.

Can get genuine Lexus disc for £80! Is this a good price? Delivered free as well. But I think it is ball joints as well, the car creaks alot when turning slowly but brakes will have to be changed as well.
I have had a quote of £90 per ball joint supplied and fitted...this maybe re-con though? will have to go see them.
What u think?

Change that to £65 per disc and also ball joints are £65 each fitted plus VAT. Just waiting to find out if they are genuine Lexus or if they are just re-coned etc!
