Has the Brembo brake squeal been reincarnated from the infamous Evo Brake Squeal?

[CivicTypeRMan]

Who else is having the Infamous Evo Brake Squeal in their CTR? It started yesterday and here and there, its squeaking like the ole Evo's. Oh joy....

Noticed it tonight going through DQ

None here yet but I'm only at 50 miles.

How many miles do you guys have that have started squealing?

 

[JJAY8175]

320 miles, and it did it yesterday with roughly 240 ish. Only happens when creeping to a stop

 

[Solis#1730]

I'm at 130 miles and no squealing so far.

try bedding in your brakes? Maybe they are using a more aggressive compound

Had brembos on my old Gen Coupe, never had them squeaking the whole ownership (18k miles-ish)

 

[JJAY8175]

I've been very easy on the brakes, I'll follow the bedding in procedure tomorrow. I'm past the 200 mile break in anyway...

 

[PowerOfDreams2017]

Mine is...I have 238 miles on it and it started around 225-230

Never had Brembo squeaking on my EVO.

Yes, the FK2R squeals a lot at braking. Same brakes.

Please don't complain too much. If there's any squeal, it's probably just because they actually put good pads on as stock. Very few good track pads don't squeal and those that are quiet will start squealing if you look at them wrong If Honda thinks squeal is the priority on a car like the type R, and not fade, we'll get worse pads.

That being said, if you play around with shims or a backing plate, that can often quiet them down. Anyone know of aftermarket backing plates for the type R brakes?

 

[CTR1633FK2]

It's the kind of pads that causes this squealing. They are probably high metal compounds, that can cope with a lot of heat on the track.

The OEM pad has an integrated backing plate. Some soft material glued on the back of the pad.
