Evo Project U brake pads

I just got front and rear Project U brake pads for my Evo and they are squealing like crazy!! Is there something special you have to do for high performance brake pads or do I have to suck it up till it goes away(if it ever goes away)? Any advice would be great. Thanx

high performance brake pads have a very good tendency to squeel for their entire life.

You could try putting some lithium grease on the back of the pads.

mU.


Seriously though, they sell a shim kit that goes on the pads to help them not squeal as much. I don't know if they offer it for the Brembos, but there should have been one on the factory pads. High perf pads squeal though, my Brembos did.

How many of you have tried reading the instructions on how to bed-in the brake pads? LOL. Correct brake pad break-in (bedding) is important to assure quality braking performance over the life of the pad. This procedure allows the rubbing surface of the brake pad to be brought to temperatures, creating a transfer-film layer of friction material to be applied to the rotor surface. This allows the brake pad material to rub against itself rather than the bare rotor. This increases the stopping performance of the brake pad and can reduce pad and rotor wear

Race pads = squeak on street & cold.
They should be quiet when hot.

If you follow the instructions for bedding them...they won't squeak, even when cold. My brakes hate stopping until they are nice and warm, but that doesn't take long to do. I've used Hawk pads for 4 years now and the only time they've squeaked was when i got down to the screamers. The instructions to break them in are simple...it may take 5 or 10 minutes to do it, but it's well worth the quiet stopping.

1. After installing new brake pads, make 6 to 10 stops from approximately 30-35 mph applying moderate pressure.
2. Make an additional 2 to 3 hard stops from approximately 40 to 45 mph.
3. DO NOT DRAG BRAKES!
4. Allow 15 minutes for brake system to cool down.
5. After step 4 your new pads are ready for use.

The bedding process was done already. It didn't work. We tried to sand them down a little. That didn't work. My rotors are fine. Every step to do brake pads correctly was done. A tech with ten years of dealership experience did them. I guess I'll just have to deal with it or get the really expensive and dusty stock Brembo pads that come with the car. Dusty brake pads=Black wheels enemy!!!!!!!!

All depends on which compound are you referring to. Which ones have you used for 4 years?

I used the ceramic pads when I first got the truck, then switched to the HP Plus pads (ferro-carbon) and that's what I'm still using on it. I may switch to the black racing pads(also ferro-carbon) just to try them out. Although they are $150/set. The only thing that may keep me from getting them is the fact that I can't keep them as hot as they want to be (optimal temperature is 100-900 degrees)
