Its only got 400 kays on it....

Hows about you give the pads, rotors some time to bed in, wear in, get some dust in the nicks n crannies, heat cycles happening, and then go from there?

Ahh yeah, Fair call.... However its ONLY doing it when reversing, never moving forwards... that's why I asked the question....

It's normal on Brembo's. I've changed brakes on an Evo 8 and an Alfa Romeo with them and they did before and after new brakes and different brand pads didn't help. Reversing down hill is shocking.

Does the B series do it??? just wondering if the different set up has any difference.

Good idea to check the handbrake tension in the hub....just tell the service manager the rear rotors seems very hot hahaha it's an easy job.

Most squeel is glazed pads from light braking or and heat....also an easy fix

softer pads dont squeel to begin, but are very dusty and end up squeeling

Hard pads squeel and then arn't to bad after a few good heat cycles...and no where near as dusty
