I can tell u this at high speeds there is no squealing . It is just at rolling speed very low right before u stop

bigjhoney Feb 21, 2005 09:53 PM

^^ yep only happens to me rolling at low speed with light brake pedal pressure

batty Feb 21, 2005 09:56 PM

yup well this sucks. Out another buyer i guess. First kid was 17 or 18 with mommy giving him money and now maybe this guy is not buying my mint condition car because of the squeal LOL. what luck .

But from what I know, he replaced the pads with aftermarket ones.

sounds like you need new brake pads

batty Feb 21, 2005 09:58 PM

They are new they were put on like 7 days ago LOL. guess you have selective reading LOL

batty Feb 21, 2005 10:09 PM

one question were the anti squeal shims on the stock pads or in the caliper.

bigjhoney Feb 21, 2005 10:10 PM

lol if there worried about a break squeal, then they'll probably go out and end up buying another car with a quiet serious problem. Should of just left the old pads and made the ******* who bought them deal with it, then you would have a reason for the squeal.

The car is great, but honestly the only problem I had is the brakes.

Spending that much money on a car but the brakes squeal is pretty weird.

The difference between European drivers and American drivers is that European drivers don't care if their brakes squeal, just as long as they stop the car. American drivers don't care if their brakes stop the car, just as long as they don't SQUEAL. :D

Don't be a puzzy. You are buying a serious performance car. If the brakes stop the car, that's all that matters.

I run Performance Friction Brakes racing pads all the time, street and track. They squeal like a wild banshee. So what. They stop the car like nobody's business.

If you are that worried about brake squeal, buy a Lexus, you old fart.

Well I'm paying money to get a quality car, not a car that makes sounds and attracts attention. Mitshu didn't release the car with the brake system expecting it to squeal, right? Well, I would like the same out of the factory feel.

its the same... a brand new evo can squeal all the time. Happens to my car once in a while

evo_ik Feb 22, 2005 12:32 AM

Ya but its once awhile, not everytime..

silvery_eagle Feb 22, 2005 12:35 AM

by once in a while i mean once in a few days / weeks.
when it's happenning... it will stop only after you turn off the engine.
give it another test drive... you may not hear it again :)
