I just heard my brakes squeal for the first time around 600 miles. I think it still exists for 2020?

Mine just slightly did at 1100k too. It was a quick tap to stop from parking lot speeds but never heard of it before that.

It's possible to mitigate a lot of the brake squeal by being a little harder on the brakes. With the stock brakes I found that if I apply the brakes and put at least 150-200 PSI through the lines, then I'll almost never hear the brakes squeal. The only exception to this is city driving. Though the 2020 does use a different material so it may squeal worse (or better) than the 2017-2019.

Edit: granted I have since swapped over to HPS 5.0's.

Almost exactly the same scenario although the brakes are already warmed from traveling about 30 miles.

Was reading through the manual before, says hearing some squealing is totally normal.
Yes I believe that's the case with performance brakes. Just putting it out here because I believe someone was asking for brake squealing.

That was probably me asking. I was just curious if Honda did anything to try to help it. But you're absolutely right, it's normal with more performance oriented brakes if they don't get enough heat in them.

800 miles haven't heard them squel maybe you need to warm up before hard braking. I know it happens in Audi RS models when the brakes are cold.

Finally found a good deal on a 2020 SGP R - traded in my '19 RR over the weekend. Man this color is good, pictures don't do it justice.

The throw of the shifter is significantly shorter then previous models and the knob feels much better in hand.

The fake engine noise actually sounds pretty good and think its a nice change from how quiet the car can is. Note this only occurs in R mode.

That's wild mate, trading in your '19 for '20!? Curious what your all-in cost was to upgrade?

32k on trade in, 39.9k for new? $8k + tax seems steep for everything you get in the 2020 vs 2019
I know it sounds crazy but I was waiting for the facelift seen on the Si's last year for the R's but Honda took so long to announce it that I pulled the trigger on a '19 after reading on here for a while that there was speculation that '19 was going to be the last production year. But sure enough a month after I bought it, Honda announced the facelift version of the R. Yes I could've got the inserts and bought the rear bumper but the Honda sensing and suspension upgrades amongst a few other things made it worth it to me. Also red on this car was starting to be 'too much' for me. SGP blends in nicely without being too cookie cutter of a color.

Got $30k on trade, $38,890 for the 2020 - out the door it was $42k and some change. Not crazy about that but it was the best deal I could find after months of searching.

Heck no, YOLO! I love BB and sometimes ponder at a trade in myself. I don't think I'll ever do it unless I somehow get a chance at a 2021 LE CTR. That in itself is a pipe dream because I can only imagine what the markup will be on that sucker.

Enjoy the new 2020 :headbang:

I was going to try and get the LE yellow. But thought I would never drive or mod it. So I would never enjoy it.
Plus I love the blue. So happy I went with 2020

The LE will be epic - my dealer told me they are going to auction there's on eBay or Bring A Trailer ha. Those numbers will be wild.

Hey all!

I'm a bit late posting photos, but I finally received my CW on 5/4/20 after a pretty lengthy wait.

I could post boring stock photos, but instead decided to hand it off to my tint & vinyl guy this morning & let him go crazy.

I'll post some better photos once I get a chance, just a bit too excited to wait that long!
