scroll down to the section of this page called "Similar threads" and you'll find there are at least 5 other topics asking the exact same question.

Stop f'n posting man and at least read the other threads you created. You're hurting my brain.

fine hossg... You've forced me into it.

Your rear rotor has lost all compression. the whistling you're hearing is because oil is leaking into the rotor housing and in a couple weeks your oil light will come on confirming it.

Take your RX8 back to the dealership or the person that sold it to you as soon as possible and get a civic instead.

Listen man, instead of making 80 posts on things search the damn site. I mean god damn. First you ask a question then sit there and act like you know it all and say everyone is complaining of it. Go away or act civilized.
