Brake Pads - Anti-Squeal Shim and Fitting Kits

[StephenK]

Are Lexus (Toyota) OEM brake pads supplied with the anti-squeal shim and fitting kits as standard or do you have to buy these separately?

[PCM]

I know on my RX the shim could be bought separately...

Maybe ring up a dealer and ask the Service Department?

I recently bought pads for my LS430 and they didnt come with the shims - I bought them from Lexus Parts Direct

I know they have the shims listed seperatley for the LS range - they also have them listed here for the CT:

Or nearly half that from here if not urgent.

Yes, I've bought some parts from Amayama before, eg F Sport Tyre Valve Caps and Valve Fitting Kits - the cost of 4 off each is less than 1 each from Lexus.

As long as not urgent need, the prices are way below UK - even with postage from Japan (ca. £6) which seems to not be a rip off compared to typical UK postage costs.
