I have an '11 GT with the Brembo package...10K miles. I notice some rather loud squealing under light braking when driving around time. Pretty much all the time, except when the car was new. If they are squealing and I stab the brakes harder, it goes away.

I've driven cars with Hawk HP+ pads on them (on the street) and I'd say the Brembo brakes squeal more readily, given the light pressure being applied.

I'm not a bad driver. I usually get 40K+ miles out of my brake pads/rotors.

Anyone else having Brembos have them squealing too? I'm not sure if the Brembo package provides a more "aggressive" pad, but this is kinda ridiculous, if you ask me.

Thanks!

Hi Sparty92,

Brake squeals can be annoying! Have you taken it to your dealer for diagnosis? They will be best able to determine why they are making noise. If they are unable to quiet it, please PM me with your VIN, contact information, mileage, & servicing dealer name/state and I will assist.

Hey doublerkid,

Best way to quiet it is to bring it to your dealer's attention. Also, PM me your info (VIN, contact information, mileage, & servicing dealer name/state) so I can help. Talk to you soon!
