I've had my OEM replacement Axiss rotors and brake pads installed for about three months. They screathed a bit when I first got them but then it went away. Lately, everytime I stop from low speeds I hear them squeal and when the car is rolling at low speeds I can hear a screathing sound (kind of like metal on metal). The sound is not too loud but it's enough to annoy the hell out of me. Should I buy some anti squeal spray for the breaks or should I take the car in to a shop to have it checked out? I just don't know if the spray will do the job for what I described.
a. Some brakes are noisy. The pad to rotor contact is proper - they are just noisy
b. The noise is coming from pad-caliper-shim contact. Take the calliper apart, Grease everything up. Put it together again.
c. The wear clip on the pad is hitting the rotor.

My Z does the same S***!!! It pisses me off when im goin at lower speeds i hear a very quiet but high pitched scrape! I took apart my whole brake system trying to figure it out and lubed and cleaned everything. It still squeals!! I even have aftermarket rotors and pads... Still squeals!!!

Yea... and when you barley JUST BARLEY touch the brake its all loud!!! i dont get it, I paid alot of money for this car and for it to be doing this just pisses me off. Everytime i try to go out for a cruise i hear squeakyness (yea i made my own word) it just makes me mad haha
I just now got this same noise about a week ago. Has anyone come up with a solution to fix this? Is it time for new pads and the tabs are just letting me know? I really don't want to screw up my brembo's.
This crap happens to me as well... I did everything to make it stop squeeking. It still squeeks... really loud. Especially at low speeds... it sounds like someone is getting shanked.
I have the same damn problem. I hate it more than anything, but most racing braking systems make a lot of noise at low speeds especially if you have racing rotors and brakes because they are made for high temp situations. I'm just glad I have a great stereo in my car so I don't have to hear it as much, but it does drive me crazy. I'll check my service manual and see if their is any way to stop this effect.
