If you would take the Z in for service just because of sqeaky brake, then I think you'll become really good friends with that dealer in the future, because there will be other noises from the car lol....

But seriously, try doing a few quick stops to scrup off the pads, maybe that will stop the squeak. Sometimes the pads have big metalic peices in the compound that causes noise when rubed aganst the rotor. In any case, The Z is a sports car, there will be noise.

word of caution...oem brakes have a nice bite to them, but you'll go through them pretty quickly. I don't do any hard braking for the most part, and was into my roters at 18k...have had HAWKS for 25k and they are still at 70%.
