chris's scooby

Don't worry mine seems to do it from the front as well

DJ WATTS

mine do it also...

Also i have a high pitches sound that comes on after about 30 mins of driving or so and comes on when i turn left a little and then goes when i turn right a little...

Maybe get it in to be checked out, better safe than sorry.

Report your results back here if you do.

Not trying to be funny but are you sure you're brake pads aren't down to the minimum??

misty

Think it's normal mate! My brembos on the Evo squeal, Mitsi says its normal due to the hardness of the pads.

Copper slip on the back of the pad's sould stop this

I hope mine aren't worn yet, the car's about 8 weeks old and has done about 1800 miles.

chris's scooby

Sorry, can u explain in simple terms for me please?

My Brembos squeal if I brake when going backwards :erm:

Mine went through a stage of squeeling from the front, seems to have died off a bit now. I know of a few others that have had the same thing.

I think every newage STi I have seen with Brembos has squeeled when reversing!

JOHNSTI

Where you front pad's slide into the calipers the squeeling is caused with the back (metal part) lol rubbing against the caliper copper slip is a kind of grease and will stop this hope this helps

Thanx John, i'm with u now!

par for the course, common design fault carried over from the EVO's (Brembo braked models)..................you can make it less by ensuring that the calipers are cleaned inside around the pad contact areas, also that the "anti-squeal" shims are orientated correctly and an application of copperslip or such..............

Mine do all of the above. Seem to do it when dust collects. Dealer very kindly cleaned them and put that copper stuff on them for free when I got Prodrive springs fitted. That was about 3000 miles ago and they're starting to do it again. Also clunk when you brake in reverse. Think of it as 'character'!

just bought the car from cross roads ,shipton on stour
its just had pads fitted by them before we picked it up when they serviced it.
