EVO 8 rear brakes
Just after some advice, I fitted some discs and pads to my evo8 on the rear a couple of months ago and they have been really squeely but now ive noticed if I put the brakes on hard the rear wheels lock up. Any ideas why this could happen?
Cheers

What pads did you fit, Also did you replace shims. can be bought form dealer to prevent the issue. Also copper grease
Had the same issue on mine, Run Ferodo DS2500 pads, but will try Ebc bluestuff in future.

Standard Brembo's are the only brake pads that dont squeel.

rubbish
I run ebc yellowstuff(used reds also), I take the anti rattle shim OFF the rear of ALL pads fitted to my cars, I have never hand on heart ever heard so much as a peep in over 25 years.
I do NOT use any copperslip or similar, just the pad minus the rear cushy pad.
It may be more a design issue with the caliper, squeal can only be caused by vibration, it the pad is physically loose enough to vibrate too much, all pads vibrate but usually at a frequency that doesn't cause this.
I have brand new 15 mile old DS2500 pads with my bubble gum pink tarox 6 pots, but won't be using them, even though I get them free, I have bought for Ł75 yellows to go in, as having been a user of the ds ranges before they're crap imo with zero feel needing warm up, and when being warm not that good compared with yellows, maybe one reason why over 85% of police response cars use yellows ?, or maybe it was because the ds range etc didn't get approved after extensive police mira testing ?

Mark read the bit about "it may be more a design issue", peculiar to the evo brakes.
I wouldn't work on a evo, just not my thing although I admire the technology greatly, they look a pain in the arse to work on compared with a cossie, and only ever done some basic jobs on some evo's, of which the earlier ones are much more to my liking.
I wouldn't use "taxi" pads anyway.
