If they are stock, they shouldn't make noise unless you've glazed them or the pads are hitting the wear indicators.

You may just want to do a rebed of the brakes.

Sounds like you have glazed pads, my brembos squeal every now and then.

Go out on the highway and make a couple of light stops followed by a couple of hard stops. Don't actually STOP, just slow to a roll and repeat.

I'm now using Hawk pads but even when I was stock my brakes would really only make noise when they were dusty. Either brake dust all over them or the crap that the Santa Ana winds blow around. Hose off your wheels and see if that helps.

And if it's coming from the rear....my right-rear brake was making noise when I was stock. I had a friend with a G35c (w/ Brembos) that had the same thing. Both of our dealers were unable to find a problem but I believe the right-rear is what the e-brake uses and I suspect it doesn't fully release on occassion. But I dunno.
