My RX300 SE-L has just started giving the same symptoms as these other threads http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=63660 http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=13756 The clicking noise however has stopped, and the OFF light has gone out; but the ride-height is all over the shop. Only after a bit of driving does the car settle down but now even at standstill the car is approx 1-inch higher on the drivers side rear than the passenger side. The car is booked in on Wednesday to have it looked at but after reading these threads I fear a huge bill looming as it's a '04 model and out of warranty... Will keep you posted.

I seem to be suffering some pretty poor reliability with the brakes on my RX300 ('04). The car does relatively low mileage per year as it's one of a few vehicles in use in the family. However, I had the discs and pads replaced about 14months ago and already the discs feel warped and are giving a wierd feeling under medium to hard braking. In Europe the other week, even lightly touching the brakes caused sever shudder through the pedal and car! So, the question is, has anyone tried any after-market discs on their RX, and if so what were they and what were the results. I had a high-performance Audi a while ago which I upgraded to drilled brembo discs, and boy-oh-boy was the difference noticable, both in power AND wear. Just wondered if the same would be true of the Lexus. I don't need (really) the extra performance, but for a set of discs to warp/wear within 12k miles seems a little.....odd.
