Brembo brake sqeal

Try some Hawk HPS pads they won't squeal. If you drive hard or track the car keep your squeaky pads. You will find that when they heat up they are a far superior pad for stopping when hot.

BTW Ford is correct in what they told you. There is no "fix" and they squeal by their very nature.

Stoptech.com is a great site to learn about brakes and pads. Or try Hawk pads web site they explain the nature of different pad compounds....

This is a paragraph from Wildwood brakes about squealing.
Q: Why do my brakes clunk or squeal when I apply them?
A:
Some of the noises can be minimized; others are an unavoidable result of the incredible friction levels obtained in today's high-performance racing brake pads.
Sounds that are mechanical such as clunks, bangs and rattles may be caused by missing or worn out "anti-rattle" devices that are designed to place a small amount of tension on the brake pad in the caliper, limiting its free play movement. The easiest way to silence these noises is to replace any missing or damaged anti-rattle clips.
Squeal may emanate from a number of sources; however, it most commonly comes from a harmonic that develops between the caliper piston and the pad backing plate. Applying our noise absorption shims usually reduces the backing plate to piston squeal. Our noise absorption shims are an elastomeric dampening material over a steel shim, which installs between the pistons and backing plate. Noise absorption shims are available for both our Dynalite and Superlite brake pads. If further noise reduction is required, you may want to switch to our Polymatrix Q compound pads. Our Q compound pads were specifically designed for low noise and low dust. Accomplishing the goals of very low noise and dust requires that the pads have a lower coefficient of friction than our standard pads, and therefore you may notice a slight decrease in braking performance.

This is from Hawk Brakes.
There are a number of reasons why a person can experience brake noise. Sometimes brake squeal can be an indicator that there is a problem. Maintenance is required if you experience brake squeal for any of the following reasons:

• Lack of friction material (brakes need to be replaced)
• Loose fitting brake in the caliper
• Loose fitting or missing brake hardware (i.e. shims, anti-rattle clips)
• Loose lug nuts or caliper hardware
• Debris caught between the rotor and the surface of the brake pad
• Heat cracked or worn rotors
• Uneven finish on resurfaced rotors

Sometimes a user may experience brake noise when no maintenance is required. We call these NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) issues. Brake squeal is typically caused by vibration between the brake pads, rotors, and brake calipers. Some brands of semi-metallic brakes are more likely to experience brake squeal due to the metallic ingredients in the brake pads. Hawk Performance has a great reputation for being a low noise, high performance pad.

I switched to Hawk HPS pads....they are great, no noise and minimal dust.

There has to be a reason I have a few customer with GT-500's and 11+ GT's with Brembos and no sqeal. Perhaps the contact points need to be re lubed.

I have the Brembo Package on my 2012 and have no squeal; but then again we only have 3000 mikes
on the car. I gotta say, I love the smoothness of these brakes but the factory pads seem to produce a ton
of brake dust. It is about the same as my EBC track pads that I had on my 04 GT.

Different car but I had an '05 Evolution with the Brembos and they would squeal. If I got on the brakes fairly hard initially (first trip out in the morning), the squeal would go away for the rest of the trip. I figured pad/rotor material was getting trapped between the two causing the noise. I've only put 200 miles on the Mustang and havent noticed any squeal yet (hopefully the wheels stay cleaner than they did on the Evo...).

We have '12 Brembo GT that has brake squeal. We have taken it to the dealer now 4 times and they are in contact with Ford. Ford responded to me and told me it is the nature of the Brembo brakes and that there is no remedy, nor are they looking for one. So, this is a warning to those of you who are planning to purchase a GT w/ Brembo brakes, THEY WILL SQUEAL!

I have the Brembo brake package but mine doesn't squeal at all. Just lucky I guess.

Cleaned the car on Tuesday and today the front wheels were quite dirty already. Was hoping they'd be a little easier on the brake dust. No squeal yet but I only have about 485 miles on it
