Default Squeaky brakes

I just took my performance out of winter storage, but after about 250+ miles my brakes are squeaky at low speeds before I stop. The brakes were fine last fall and for the first 200 or so miles. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Maybe a little rust buildup? You could try to re-bed the brake pads by performing some gradually increasing hard stops to get the brakes heated nicely. Also, there is some grease in the shims to help prevent chatter, and it's possible that over winter it dried a bit (doubtful though). Umm, that's all I can think of. Maybe just give it a bit of time. You could go to a track day and totally wear out the pads and then get new ones, but that's a pretty expensive, although fun, solution.

Good luck!
