Brake Squealing Complaint
To the OP.... The stock pads are aggressive. Pretty much everyone that's commented has the same issue. Why not try to switch to something less aggressive, sand your rotors and call it a day. I'm going with the Girodisc stage 2 with magic pads. I would figure the dust level of the stock pads would be more annoying then occasional squeal. Try running Axxis Ultimates and you'll want to pull your hair out of your head.
Haha new evo owners.... normal. My 8 did it and so does my x. Haha @ train station sounding Evo meet... ain't that the truth? I guess these cars aren't for everyone. I think a lot of Evo owners would go off the deep end if they owned a gvr4 or a DSM. Brake noise means the car is able to be driven. _

The next Evo will have brakes and pads that don't squeal, but with a stopping distance as long as that of a Lancer DE and fades at the first hint of hard driving. It will have a soft suspension that wallows because people don't like the ride. It will have all-season tires that last forever, but with little grip. Thanks to all the whiners. If you want to complain about something, complain about the piston-rods that are not horsepower friendly.
I was seriously about to say the same thing.mine squeak from time to time but you can't complain about squeaking or break dust when you buy a performance car.
I bought stop tech pads. Issue was solved

it annoys me and its kinda embarassing when your driving by people or have a bitty in the car..but its not the end of the world. The dust annoys me more, i hate having to hand scrub my wheels almost every week. Switch pads.
you have to bed the pads to the rotors...a lot of very hard braking will make this process faster...squeeling is just something that comes with performance braking i get told that my brakes are metal to metal by people all the time and i just laugh haha

New brakes squeal, performance brakes squeal more. You must pay for a top quality installation if you want quiet brakes. But if you want quiet brakes then you might want to try riding a bike. I "hear" they are very quiet.

Wow with all the negative and semi positive feedbacks, you guys are right I should get a new car. Evo's are not what there cut out to be but at least my Honda did not squeal, thanks for the feedback. I've taken your suggestion and erased the post, to have proper edicate I guess only a distinct hard core, non whinning individuals can drive this car.

My stock pads always squealed some, but nothing like the HP+ pads I have on now. You can hear my car from a mile away, people stare and wince and tell me they think I need to change my brake pads. I dont care, they did their job but I will be switching to Carbotech in about a month before track season starts up again. You have to expect some noise with performance breaks.
