stock brakes.help??
my stock brakes are squiting like crazy. i took the car to the dealer and they said that there is no problems with the brake. so they spray the brake and the sound is still there.

if you tell them you want more anti-squell gell(or some)they should do it it takes them like 10 -30 min. for the actual work maybe the factory forgot it it was still built by hand (mistakes happen)you could do it yourself but it sounds like there bad if its new/stock

If you mean squeaking, it goes hand in hand with large brakes and agressive pads like the evo has. Mine used to do it much more when the pads were newer. Unless something is obviously wrong with the pads like a wedged rock or something, or if there is a decline in the brake performance, its completly normal.
BTW...If you ever have a wobble in your brake pedal and think your rotors are warped, make sure your wheels are torqued properly(72' lbs). Its probably 95% of the reason people think their rotors are bad.

hard to say....I have 8000 mi on my stock brake, been to many autox and 2 days at the track, currently the pad only have about 1/4 left......no sounds at all.
Try inspect the rotor to see if there's any unusual sign (like a deep groove).....sometimes a little chip of rock can cause the brake to make loud noise.

if its new its the gell dude (unless its off the lot then there not bedded properly)have them apply before you go worrying about worped rotors or stuff like that ,no its not normal,i ride canyons very agressively only squeel after about 30-1hr. hard braking,track days no squeel at all, i also have SS braided lines and Motul 600 fluid so i think i should squeek before you right?

the noise only happens when im almost stop. before then i dont hear a thing. i check for grooves and things of that nature and dont see a thing. i guess i wait about a month to see if the noise leave if not then ill take it the dealer before the warr. finishes on the pad if it doesnt leave.

Went for a drive, whala - noise gone! Hopefully, it'll keep quiet
Greasing and re-bedding might have helped...
Also, do clean the whole assembly w/ brake cleaning spray!!!

hey i got the same problem, but i already have 30,000 miles on it. time for new pads? but then i don't hear the typical brake pads high pitch noise when pressing the brakes. i could hear loud noise when the car is almost stopped. can hear noise when starting from a dead stop. can't think of anything other then brakes. my clutch still good. so i guess is the brakes, and i do notice brake performance goes down. but again when the car is coming to a stop without pressing the brakes, i could hear the noise...so......HELP!!!!

I hear that too. A lot of times, I hear it on reverse, when I reverse out of a parking lot and stop to go forward, I have a litle squeek. And just a yesterday, I started noticing squeek in the brakes right before I stop, maybe 3 or 4 seconds, and its freaking pissing me off. I have 15K on the car and I've only done aggressive braking once or twice when ppl decide to stomp on their brakes and test mine.

i took it to the dealer and have them checked it out, they said the inside brake pads needs to be changed. i got 30,000 miles on it. but the manual says start checking brake pads around 20,000 miles. so i guess it's normal. just ordered the project mu ns brake pads. $80 for the front, pretty good price. those description about the pads are nice too. looking forward to it.
