Brake Squealing Complaint
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, no more whinning. I love my EVO with squealing brakes!

Brake squealing is ok with this guy
So your ok with buying a 30k car and 1500 miles later the brakes are squealing like you've had for 1-2 years right? Thanks for your comments Genius!

So you think that your complaint is going to change something that has been in production for 13 years? I had a '98 Evo 5 which is the first model Evo with the Brembo package and guess what.. The brakes squeaked on those too. You made it sound like you're the only one with this issue; I was reassuring you that you're not. No need for your little smart comments.

I'm with Remixx02 on this. I think all my brakes have squealed and I have had 6-10 sets of different brake pads. The damn car is not a Lexus, BMW, or Mercedes so I don't expect it to as quiet as grave yard. **** you would cry if you went in my car because it makes all kinds of rattles, clunks, clinks, and squeaks. And guess what? It's an Evo not a fking prius!!!!!!Go try some duralast c-max's or w/e they're called if you don't want any squeaking or better yet just sell your car!!!!!The awesome squeal/screech track pads make=bad***, because that's how I know my brakes are doing there job

When I first got my evo the brake pads was the first thing i changed because of the squeaking, after that did not work i changed the rotors thinking it was going to fix the problem, to this day my brakes still squeak..i guess is somethng you learn to live with.

Holy crap... stop making so much noise! The stock brakes make noise... that's how they are. If you don't like the noise... change to a different type of brake pad. Simple as that. Stop being such a whiney baby. What are you gonna do next? Insist President Obama look into your brake squeal?

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.
