Brake Squeal and Low Beam Issues

I know there is a brake squeal issue that is comon with the Evo X, but mine is getting rediculous.


Everytime I go from 10 mph - 0 the squeal is deafening, and extreamly embarassing. My car has about 4000 miles on it and it is still pretty bad.


I had a Nismo with brembos and I would get a small squeak from time to time, but the Evo is like a city bus that has lost its brakes.



Also, my low beams are set so damn low I can't see more than 10 feet in front of me. I've been driving with the highbeams on and they only come up to the license plate of the car in front of me.

I've been doing this for 2 weeks and haven't been flashed once. Is this a factory screw up or are all evo's like this?

OEM brake pads are terrible. Get hawk or et500 and deal with no more of squeals.

do you have HIDs? if so, do you have the level-switch set to zero?

if you don't have HIDs, you should adjust to headlights... there should be two screws on the back of the housing to do so...

I have Giro Pads and they hardly make any noise.
