But from what I know, he replaced the pads with aftermarket ones.
sounds like you need new brake pads

lol if there worried about a break squeal, then they'll probably go out and end up buying another car with a quiet serious problem. Should of just left the old pads and made the ******* who bought them deal with it, then you would have a reason for the squeal.

The car is great, but honestly the only problem I had is the brakes.

Spending that much money on a car but the brakes squeal is pretty weird.

The difference between European drivers and American drivers is that European drivers don't care if their brakes squeal, just as long as they stop the car. American drivers don't care if their brakes stop the car, just as long as they don't SQUEAL.

Don't be a puzzy. You are buying a serious performance car. If the brakes stop the car, that's all that matters.

I run Performance Friction Brakes racing pads all the time, street and track. They squeal like a wild banshee. So what. They stop the car like nobody's business.

If you are that worried about brake squeal, buy a Lexus, you old fart.

Well I'm paying money to get a quality car, not a car that makes sounds and attracts attention. Mitshu didn't release the car with the brake system expecting it to squeal, right? Well, I would like the same out of the factory feel.
