In february i got new slotted rotors and pads on my evo ix. I didnt really drive the car till about july, it was driven every so often, not ignored completely. but when i come to a stop, i get a extremely annoying and high pitched squeak/squeal, i have pulled my wheels and cleaned the outside face of the rotor with brake clean and wiped it clear of debri. That worked for a few minutes, then it was back to the horrific squealing. i can put pictures up, there is no ridges yet on the rotor, what could be the cause? I didnt clean the back side because the caliper and brake shield was on..

 

Could be that the brakes weren't bedded properly?

 

Could be... :/ I had a local shop install them because i was out of town.

Still fairly knew to evos.. is there a way to make sure they are bedded properly?

 

What brand of brake pads are they? Certain pads are notorious for squealing on our cars...

 

i'm searching for the reciept now. I can't seem to find it but am still looking.

 

What the others have said & this:

Are the stock Brembo angled shims in-place, front & rear. They do a lot IMO to prevent squealing on non track type pads

 

Easiest way to tell?.. Still searching for that danged reciept.. :/

 

Well I found my original quote, but I want to say that he changed one of the pads on me last minute.. The quote is for Powerslot Slotted rotors all around, Performance Friction Metallic Z Brake Pads Front, and Hawk HPS rear pads.

 

anti squeel is your friend.

 

If you pull the wheels, you can see them using a flash light & inspecting the top of the caliper & pads

 

Unfortunately sometimes these brakes just squeel all the time - had an issue with it myself. The stock brembos and pads were horrible, upgraded to DBA 5000's on the front with hawk pads, helped a bunch but not completely.

 

I found my brakes started to squeal like crazy once I upgraded to HPS/HP+ on my powerslots...

 

So what brand should I go for that won't squeal ? I'm new and already share the same problem. Currently using hawks brake pads
