Anybody's brakes still squealing like crazy? I have about 1500 miles and they still squeal when coming to a complete stop. I broke them in correctly and dealer says it will go away. Any thoughts? thanks

 

You might be expericencing some minor squeals, as stated in the Mitsubishi Tech book. "Due to high performance nature of this vehicle"

There are some threads around about Brake Squeal. You might wanna try to search.

 

my squel too and I only have it for 2weeks(500 miles)

 

They are supposed to squeal! The manual even warns us about that.

Almost every high performance brake pad set I've seen (or heard) used on a car squeal until they reach operating temps. PErformance brakes need more heat to get to their normal operating temp than non-performance varieties.

The Evo's brake pads are of a fairly high performance compound. So until you warm em up, they might squeal a bit.

SC~

 

My brakes squeal as well, from time to time????
Anyone ask the dealer yet?

 

mine make noise but it's not a squeel. I haven't had a single squeel yet.

 

The level of squeal also varies by how much force the pads have against the rotor. So if you're braking lightly up to a stop sign, they're going to squeal. If you jam on the brakes to near-threshold braking, they probably won't squeal (although your passengers and any cars behind you probably will ).

 

my break doesn't squeal at crusing/high speed, it only squeals sometime right before the car stops, I suppose thats normal.

 

Mine squeal occasionally. Dealer indicated they have gotten in other Evos reporting this and it is indicative of the Brembos.

 

mine squeal like a stuck pig when i slow down and hit below 5 mph just about every time. i just assumed its normal...my friends does it too.

 

Mine stopped squealing at around 6000 miles
Have done 15000 now and no problems....they still squeal when I brake going backwards

 

Hey Limey, I do not think those Jturns (bootleg turns) count. j/k

 

I found the fix to the brakes squealing. I do not have to clean my car very often with living in sunny Phoenix heh. Each week I give it a California duster treament and some Meguiars Detail Spray. I spray the wheels down with water and wheel cleaner and dry them down with a towel. So I began to notice my brakes squealing more and more, right. So I say WTF, I had noticed everytime I gave it a full car wash with the power hose, the squealing would stop for a week, so I began to really spray the wheels down each week, getting inside near the calipers real good. Bam, problem solved. No more squeak if you clean all the brake dust out with a good hosing of water and wheel cleaner. Thought I would pass it on.
