Hey guys, I have pads and they squeak, squeak, squeak!! I bought the car 7k miles and it is so loud that it sounds like a city bus... when your next to a building its like a extremely loud whistle. I took it back to the dealer 3 times and the last time i took it there they took apart the brakes and cleaned it and said it looked like a rock got stuck between the pads and it damaged the passenger rotor slightly and they were not willing to pay for it. Anyway WTF ever (dealers are ****) the damn squeak came back today! I looked and their is no rocks.. im so fed up with this dumb *** evo X brakes.. seriously. My car sounds like crap. The guys at the dealer said its normal for evos to have squeaky brakes... well duh.. but not this bad.

So i was thinking i need to change the pads because maybe the guy before me threw some cheap *** hard pads in there? What pads should i get guys? Should i just change the pads where the squeaky noise is or should i just change all 4 wheels and call it a day?

I need advice because im about to ghost ride this *****!

Stock pads squeak a lot regardless...Mine squeaked so much to a point that I thought they were worn out, but they weren't...

These could be a possibility
girodisc magic pads

Never met anyone that owns an evo and their breaks don't squeak lol some more than others...

Well is it just the stock pads? What is everyone using for aftermarket pads? What are u guys installing for pads and shims when your oem wears out?

Good choice. This and a bit of brake grease on the back.

Some run fancy titanium shims, but I think most people reuse the stock ones.
As for pads I'm running on Ferodo DS2500, they still squeak, especially when cold.

I picked up a set of Stoptech Pads for front and rear. love them! especially for the price. quite a bit less brake dust then factory brembo pads

^ Okay. Thanks!

I have the Stoptech pads, but everyone says the dust "less" From my experience they dust a lot. I also don't remember the stock pads dusting because they squeaked so bad, I changed them immediately. It definitely got rid of the squeak haha. IDK just my .02

any pads that are non metallic = no squeaking

I changed my pads with some napa pads and they sure to dust a lot all over my wheels. I need suggestions on pads guys. Thanks.

After all the suggestions, you chose NAPA pads? Hawk HPS, Ferodo DS2500 and Girodisc Magic Pads are all great.

Adding the Girodisc shims really helps

Hawk = $$$ , Ferodo = For rich people.

What about Girodisc pads? or stoptech? That's definitely more in my budget. Can i use stop shims with these pads? Recommended?

Thanks.

My friend, EvoX maintenance = $$ and you will soon learn that putting cheap parts on like those NAPA pads will mean you're going to waste your money. Drop the coin and do it right the first time, there's no cheap way out
