squeaky brakes are a normal trait of the Evo's brembos. You can't really get rid of them. the only thing i can think of is NOT braking lightly. I find that feathering the brakes always produces the squeal.

The only time mine ever make noise is when I'm just about to come to a stop in reverse.

Mine only made noise when I drove home from the dealer. Since then, zero noise.

Hmm, maybe I'm one of the lucky few who has never had any brake squealing whatsoever in the 6500 miles or so that I've put on it.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Did you break-in your pads when you baught your car? If you didnt, they could be bedded improperly - you could have glazed them a little or they are worn funny.

I recommend trying a brake in procedure. Check out Hawks also or see if Brembo has one.

For GranSport the bed-in was as follows:
10: 30 to 10 mph stops at medium braking. Then let cool off for 15 mins.
5: 50 to 10 mph stops at hard braking. Then let cool off for 30 mins.

My pads are (or will be - just put new ones on) fully broken in at the 1000 mile mark.

When my car was new I used the GranSport method.
