Hi, does anyone have experience of cvhanging the front and rear brake pads? Also anyone know of a maintenance manual for th IS200 range. Thanks.

Hi Kamlex, and welcome to Team Lexus.

I haven't changed the pads myself, but my dealer changed my front pads at 30,000 miles for £49.15 + VAT + a hefty labour charge. The discs got changed under warranty at the same time for corrosion.

The only repair manual I know of is the genuine LEXUS workshop manuals which the dealers have !

They normally come in sections (ie) Engine,Chassis & Body,but they can be expensive-anything up to £50 each

Thanks for your advice. I may just be adventurous and try to replace them myself.

Has anybody actually replaced their own pads? If so, how easy is it?

anyone know if the IS 300 shares the same brake pads as the 200. I was going to bring some back from the USA since they are cheaper but was not 100% sure.
