Hi,
its the same old story with lexus and the design of the IS 250 -the disc's are under engineered for the size of the car ,I had a right rant at lexus customer care when my 55 plate hit 18k some 3 years ago .in the end I was refunded the cost of the disc .
had the rear disc's and pads replaced under a recall but they do tend to replace when thay see a lip on the disc but dont state what the min thickness is before the disc should be replaced.
Just got to compare my BMW 320 M sport auto - 41k on the clock after 34 months of trouble free driving service costs to date £500 plus 4 tyres and the on board info tells me the front disc still have 7k and rear 14k to go before replacing .
IS still running well and still great to drive - its just the cost of ownership is a right pain but its going so well (thats until I wheel it in for its next service ££££££) will keep it for another year as the wife loves it .
cheers

Hi Swager...
Seems like a common IS issue with the disks.... I have checked other threads and I was a little worried that this is a issue.
I'm having a rant with Lexus now... going back and forth with Lexus Edgeware as I told them I don't trust Croydon who did the service.
They have asked me to come for a comp brake and disk check....
I think most dealers think Lexus owners are stupid rich suckers who won't question what they are telling owners.... little do they know we have LOC forum... and we talk about these issues.
I did mention to the service dept at croydon that I was more than worried about the IS250 if it needs new pads every year and disks every 20K miles.
Thanks
Nilesh
