Like night and day. Awesome car!Had this problem with my 2011 ISF when it was new. Took it to my dealer and they replaced all the pads. No problems since. Just have to know, how does RCF compare to an ISF? Thinking seriously about buying one in about a year.
I never had that problem with my 2008 ISFThe RC F has high performance friction brake pads. The squealing noise unfortunately is a characteristic of Lexus Brembo brakes. The IS F and LS F Sport have this as well. A good way to help stop the break squeal is bedding in your brakes. Brembo has a good explanation for bedding in brakes on page 19 of their catalog:

I have to agree. I traded my ISF. This is a different species of F.Like night and day. Awesome car!

Loudness 4Can you elaborate more about this squeak while stopping? (ie. what type of weather environment, what time of day does it occur, how often does it occur, on a scale of 1-10 how loud is this squeal, and which area is it coming from specifically?)
I took delivery on January 28. It currently has 689 miles. I've never driven it in the rain.Loudness 4

Your might squeal when they tell you you will have to replace the rotors and pads front and back @15K miles to the tune of $3,000Loudness 4
