Wanted to get some opinions of those with the stock brembo brakes. I've only put about 300 miles on my car so far, and obviously know these are performance brakes, but are they supposed to squeak rather loudly when you are coming to a stop? Maybe i have to put more miles on them for break-in time, but just curious of any others have this happen. Also, its been rather cold still around here so weather might be a factor?

 

My are fine never had any problems...just seem a bit graby at first.

 

Never had any squeaks on mine

 

Mine have squeaked since day one. I have an '03. Doesn't bother me. I luv the brakes though. Great feel, modulation and fade resistance!

I have an '04 and my Brembos will squeak at very low speeds, not bad enough to do anything about it though.

 

Mine don't squeak, but sometimes they make a lot of noise (not squeaky noise), if I'm only pushing the brake slightly at low speeds.

 

I think this is a intermittent problem with the Tracks. It may be that the brakes are new and the weather can definitely play a factor but then again, who knows? Ive had customers come in and complain about squeeky Brembos but there isnt much you can do about it, you can try switching brake pads but Im not sure how much that will help. I had a customer with a Track that complained about the same thing, he brought his car in to get pads changed and what do you know, his rotors are warped so bad we cant even turn them, and this is only after about 20k miles.

 

Anyone switched pads and resolved the noise?

 

Switched to Hawk HPS / Bedded them / Squeak is still there, mostly at moderate to light application / Not sure what my next move is? / Thinking about getting new rotors / What to do?

 

Anyone with squeaking problems every tried to apply some anti-squeak spray to the back of the brake pad to see if it helps?

 

My friend on his CLK got Brembo's and told me that you have to break them in. For the first 200 miles you cant brake hard. So each time you replace your pads with new ones you cant brake hard. I followed this and have never had a problem.

 

My 06 Z have squeaky brembos as well.

Mine has over 11,000 km on it and it still squeaks. It happens just as you come to a complete stop, below 5 mph and when the brake paddle is depressed at a certain depth. If I step on it deeper or release the paddle a bit, it goes away.

It squeaks with the OEM brembo rotors and also with the brembo sport cross drilled rotors. Another observation I found is that it does not squeak when I start driving. It happens after the brakes are warmed up with regular city traffic.

I am hoping it will eventually go away or when I wear out the stock pads and go with something else.

Any ideas to fix this? Brake disc cleaner maybe?

 

Mine squealed for the longest time. It seems that since I did my first track session, its stopped though, lol. That was about 10k miles ago.
