Default Brake noise! (New Brakes)

I have new brake pads on my Brembo's. I did a search and didnt find anything so I was wondering what this noise was coming from. When I apply pressure to the breaks I dont hear the noise until im almost all the way down. If I apply the breaks quickly I can hear the noise. The only way I can describe the noise is a creeky old door. Perhaps something needs to be WD-40'd??

Did you put grease on the shims and back of pads.

There's your answer! Look in the brake DIY section.

Not bedding doesn't cause squeal, it causes a irregular rotor surface, thus having a warped effect...

I just installed OEMs in my 'O4 Touring Coupe, & they do squeal, but it's so low, I'm just gonna plain old ignore it. IF it gets bad, then I'll take 'em back to the Post Hobby Shop (Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico) to have 'em lubricated.
I guess our monsters suffer from brake shrieks, since I keep reading it in our posts.

If you didn't have the rotors resurfaced then that may be part of you issue. Otherwise lubricating the shims could be it also.

Are you using the OEM pads and rotors? Have the rotors been turned or refinished?
