IN other places except the US Acura is Honda. So in Japan you will see the Honda Integra, Honda NSX, etc...

Looking to get a before and after before the install of the boost upgrade, camshaft, and valve springs (retainers too). Thanks in advance

When you glaze the brakes it the pads that turn to almost glass. And you know the surface of glass is smooth.
And it depends on your brake setup. My brakes always squeal since they are of higher metallic content than say semi-metallic brake pads, which are quieter.

You might be hitting the metal tabs that tell you it's time to replace the pads. If you had them a year, and depending on how much you drive they may need replacing. If the pedal gets mushy they you need to bleed the brake lines of air.
