Update Requested: Back Ordered RX8 Brake Pads
My 8 has the sqeal like many others here and early Nov. I had my dealership order the brake pads that were required per the TSB. Still no luck in getting them in so far with my dealership as they seem to be on national back order.
Starting this thread to see is there are owners out there that might have more "color" on when these might be in. Has anybody heard anything?

Yeah, I have tried other dealerships and it seems to be a problem nation wide. I wish that I could pin this on the dealership, but I dont think my problem is unique.
Just hoping somebody in the community has an update.

Sorry to tell you this...My dealer did a few sets last week.
Did the dealer "CSO" the set for you?
If you are waiting for them to come in a stock order it will be a long.

funny thing my dealer ordered them and they haven't been installed because I've been to busy to bring my car in...but they are just waiting there to be installed under warranty, they've sat there for 2 months :p

Most likely the dealer sent the request on a higher priority than Booster's did.
Priority one = hotline...
Priority two = CSO
Priority three = stock order
Stock orders don't usually get filled until all the requests are satisfied.

Thanks Rosenthal, my car is in having the work done today! Rotrypwr, yes this is true pending that your car qualifies for the TSB which should not be a problem.

Tell him that there is a TSB for brake squeal and to look it up. You can also find the TSB here on this site if you do a search. Print it and take it to him.
