Brake enthusiast here. I have roughly 1000miles on them so far. These were installed on my 21 RX350 AWD and I am very satisfied with them. These are currently THE pads you want for your vehicle. It’s made for those of us who want a set of pads for our daily driver that 1) is virtually dustless 2) is quiet and 3) gives MAX braking performance. More on #3 later in the review (technical). These Bosch pads are objectively better in terms of braking performance than 90% of what’s available for a daily driven vehicle. Because these are ceramic based pads, they are virtually dustless and extremely quiet (if installed and bedded in correctly). I’ll get the downside out of the way: the shims (backing shield) on these arnt as good as the OEM Toyota/lexus shims that came with your car. The Oem shims cover almost the entirety of the brake pad, which allows 100% contact of the piston and outer caliper to contact the surface of the shim. On the bosch shims, its surface area is NOT large enough and leaves 30% (ish) of the piston untouched. See attached picture for comparison. Reuse your old shims or get new Toyota/lexus shims (Aprox $20). It’s the little details that matter. Now for the technical performance part (and why you want to buy these pads): braking performance You want these pads because they have a friction coefficient rating of GG. Generally speaking, higher friction = more braking power/potential. This means more powerful braking. Pads are rated from E (lowest) to H (highest). H friction rated pads are generally pads designed for the racetrack and NOT suitable for daily driving (they’re loud, require heat, and have a lot of dust). So from lowest friction to highest: E, F, G, H (race). So for a street application, G is the highest friction rated pad you can get. In friction rating, there are two letters. The first letter is the cold friction rating (when your brakes are not warmed up yet) and the second letter is the hot friction rating (after your brakes/rotors have warmed up). MOST stock Toyota/Lexus brake pads for this application is EF. The Bosch pads are a GG. This means cold friction is 2 levels higher than the stock pad and the hot friction is 1 level higher. If we compare the bosch pad to other popular brands like the Akebono pro ACT, the pro ACT is a FG (this means the bosch is still better because it has a higher cold bite than the Akebono while hot friction is Aprox the same). Lexus does offer a “high performance” Oem ceramic brake pad made by advics (part number #04465-12670) on SOME premium Lexus trims. These pads are also GG rated pads and these bosch are equally as good at 1/4 of the price. If you had the #04465-12670 oem pads previously and install anything below a GG rated pad, you will be downgrading and wonder why your brakes went as “good.” The brake feel on these are very positive and linear. They are not overly “grabby” but only require lightly pressure on your brake pad to stop your vehicle. Where these shine is when you need to stop while going downhill (if you’re not already engine braking). These arnt going to magically turn your brakes into a brembo 6 piston, but are one of the best performing GG pads out there. Bosch also provides new stainless hardware for your caliper. So that’s also a huge bonus.

I would definitely buy this product again! There is absolutely no squeakiness, and the fit for my 2010 Lexus RX 350 was perfect. The thickness and durability are outstanding, and you can really feel the quality. Overall, this is an excellent value for your money—I truly have no complaints and would highly recommend it.

I’ve been using Bosch QuietCast brake pads for years across multiple vehicles, and they’ve consistently delivered excellent performance. The quality is top-notch—right out of the box, you can tell these are well-made parts. What I appreciate most is how quiet they are, living up to the name. No squealing or grinding, even under heavier braking. Stopping power is solid and consistent, giving me confidence in both everyday driving and emergency situations. Bosch has been my go-to for brakes because they last, they’re quiet, and they perform like OEM or better. If you’re looking for reliable brake pads that don’t make noise and offer smooth, dependable braking, Bosch QuietCast is a great choice. Highly recommended.

Very good 👍

Very nice product with all new hardware. Easy install.

went on my 2016 lexus rx350 perfectly. quiet, smooth

This is the only brand I trust for brake pads. I’ve used it on multiple vehicles and consistently get the same great results. The braking performance is excellent, completely noise free, and I’ve never experienced any issues. It’s easily one of the best options in this price range.

Well constructed and perfect fit for 2012 Toyota Highlander

Recebi antes da data prevista e produto de excelente qualidade.

Se despego el contorno de la pasta de la pastilla, a parte emitía demasiado rechinido al avanzar y frenar. Me comentaron que es porque la materia prima con la que están hechas es de baja calidad.

اشتريتها عدة مرات، ذات جودة عالية وكذلك لا تترك برادة فحمات على الجنوط.

La balatas llegaron y después de la instalación las balatas rechinaban mucho, a pesar de rectificar los discos las balatas nunca dejaron de rechinar y causar vibración.

relatively good but does not very sharp and powerful
