Honda Civic Type R Brake Noise PROBLEMS | WHAT SHOULD WE DO??

[@waterboyz9441]

Thanks for the info bro! My Type R is my first performance car and I love it so much! Every time I stop in traffic and it squeaks I always felt weird but I had no idea it was because they are a special type of brake pads!

[@illspeed831]

Thank you! As a former service advisor I couldn't explain this enough!

[@tmurdz7844]

Thanks for the info man, been trying to find something about the brake squeel, wanted to make sure it was normal

[@Bigbacon]

this is 1 of 2 complaints I have with mine, brake squeal and rocks in between the rotor and the brake shield.

[@doptimistic3576]

Twinsie, proud to say I got mine for a week now and love every moment of it. Championship white!!!

[@janetingespinal6459]

doptimistic congrats on your Type R! Enjoy!!

Gunmetal grey baby!

[@og.takumi]

the noise reminds me im driving a fast car ;) but it is kinda annoying when you want a comfortable and quiet ride.

[@darthtater6543]

My 2017 Si brake pads are very grabby because it's getting cooler out here in Texas.

[@DJQuasard]

Well damn... I was getting hella pist with my Honda dealer, but I see now. Thanks for the info, boss.

[@FlyinGato]

Happy to help bud!

[@darkwolfx333]

I am used to this however, most extremely high end sports cars have this same "issue." When I upgraded my pads and rotors on my STI it got very loud. As for our type Rs I expect the same glad its not as loud as my STI was when stopping.

[@proz71ful19]

I’ve noticed that brake ‘grab’ early in the morning with my Civic sport hatch! I’m glad they don’t squeal though. Was that a gti that passed you on the highway? Great videos by the way, keep them coming!

[@rocsteadii]

I was wondering why my brakes were squealing. My neighbor said the same thing you said. It was becoming annoying why it was making so much noise. I thought there was something wrong with the brakes. Good to know that is normal with high performance brakes. I love the Honda Civic Type R.

[@FlyinGato]

yup, they are high heat resistant brake pads

[@RobMotive]

I was just thinking about this today...even mentioned it in an upcoming vid! I definitely have the squeal!!😎

[@FlyinGato]

+Vloggingadventureswithrob nice! Welcome to the Type R problems club! Lol

[@justindavis5983]

Honestly the brake dust isn't too bad. My dad's Volvo s80 collects brake dust like crazy.. literally coating the wheels in gray dust every day of driving. He uses oem pads.

[@matthewramirez4670]

That's Race brakes can't complain with that, but others have their opinion great vid.

[@nc2988]

I have the brake squeal as well; maybe I'm deranged but I think it's cool.

[@FlyinGato]

Shhh, I think we both are, because I do too...

[@hazelvazquez765]

Ummm... I brought my car to the dealer when it STARTED doing that, and they found rocks that got in between the disks. Not because of the pads. After they took the rocks out it stopped squealing. They didn’t charge me for this btw, but it seems like it’s becoming a regular thing.... it’s concerning now

[@FlyinGato]

yea the brake squeal can also be caused by rocks, but the brake pads are also very squealy

[@shanemcgowan8469]

@@FlyinGato I live in north NJ where the roads are not in the best condition so I always get rocks between the discs and always have to take the rims off of the car to solve the problem. Has anyone come up with some ideas on how to prevent this? Some people recommend Girodiscs. Any suggestions?

[@darcygoesfast]

TypeR brakes warp my face- no question they are fantastic. Dust/Squeal? Don't care. They stop…NOW! Thanks for the post.

[@nickbuchanan9220]

Have you encountered the rear pads doing a clunk when going backwards or forward and hitting the brake. As the pad is moving a small amount and hitting the wings of the pad? My type r started doing it after replacing the pads

[@donduong1835]

omg I thought It was just me, was thiking about taking it to Honda. thanks for explaining!

[@FlyinGato]

Happy to help!

[@A_guan]

What happened to your wheel badges? Or did they not fit on the new wheels

[@saythoo7994]

I have mine break squeal now it’s a big problem or not

[@v60polestar88]

Yes you should complain to Honda about brake squeal. They should not squeal. My Volvo V60 Polestar has 6 piston brembo and they don't squeal at all. As far as brake noise is concerned then yes high performance brakes are louder. Squealing pads isn't normal and Honda needs to address this. It's only a 4 piston set up so its not that extreme. Now brake dust is a losing battle. I clean my wheels almost daily

[@jonpogi2666]

Evo has same brake squeak issue

[@ag4591]

I turn the radio up and never roll the windows down. Even the fl5 makes all there annoying noises.

[@bobl.7264]

We need a padless brake system been doing it this way forever i say lets invent the gravity brake system

[@samanson2001]

Wot

[@danloki78]

Tbf even the manual mentions sport brake squeel

[@jairflores7256]

Thanks for the info. I just bought a 2018 type r and I thought something was wrong with my car. Does your type r still have brake squeal till this day ?

[@FlyinGato]

Yup, for sure, part of its charm

[@RGOMEZ521]

Yes!! I have 2019 type r...

[@eyesrightout]

Whats the rims' make? I mean that tiny badge on them, I got the same but cannot decode it :)

[@FlyinGato]

they are made for Tire Rack by Kosei

[@eyesrightout]

FlyinGato Kosei... that small astrological Virgo-like mark? Right?

[@FlyinGato]

maybe?

[@tiwarivikram]

I have a regular 2014 Honda Civic...and that just started making that squeeling noise as soon as I slow down. I dont even have to press brakes for it to start making that noise. Is that normal? Is it also related to brake pads? Also, how difficult to change the brake pads? If I can confirm that brake pad is the issue then will I have to take my car to the mechanic ? Thank you for your help...

[@FlyinGato]

It's very easy, I have a few videos on how to do it up

[@tiwarivikram]

@@FlyinGato Thank you for the prompt response. Do you happen to the video heading? Its impressive that you have so many videos but its hard to know in which one you are explaining this issue and on how to do it... Sincere thanks!

[@jonathanhenville9323]

did anyone else cringe when the car came up pretty quick behind him 1:16

[@FlyinGato]

Yea I did!!

[@saint1981311158]

I have 300 miles on my 2019 and the brake squeal is insane

[@FlyinGato]

You can change pads to get rid of the squeal

[@saint1981311158]

I might have to eventually

[@Chase5678]

I can't stand my beater car with brake sequels. I would lose my mind with a type r doing it.

[@jakeluvsgab12]

Bro I have a 2019 type r we should do a vid together lol my back passenger door has rattling in it have you experienced any door rattles ?

[@saint1981311158]

Jake Bosshogson sometimes its the passenger seatbelt hitting the plastic

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

What anti squeel liquid for high temp ? Permatex?

[@FlyinGato]

for this type of squeal, only a pad change will fix it. Make sure you lube it up with Permatex - amzn.to/2za2aqR - but like I said, unless you get a less aggressive pad, you're not going to stop the squeals

[@cmf4995]

2019 typeR+, squealer 000532 miles..and maybe some power steering belt noise when going in reverse and the wheel is cut all the way......?.. any pointers?

[@FlyinGato]

Shouldn't have power steering belt squeak as it's an electric power steering, as for the brakes, change the pads

[@jhernandez2007]

thats bullshit.... the are lots of other cars out there with better brakes than the type R and dont make noise ...like the M3

[@FlyinGato]

they may have bigger brakes but it's all in the compound of the pads. I can put VERY quiet pads that won't squeal, or VERY loud squealy pads that won't fade with hard braking. Difficult to get both
