  • Front brake squeak

    Hi guys, had the racing a few weeks now and totally loving it however as always I have a "question" lol

    At slow speeds I have noticed that the front brakes squeak a little, now I have read somewhere that Brembo 4 piston brakes squeak at low speeds and wondered if this is the same thing. Any other racing owners experienced this?


    Thanks in advance

    Can't say I've noticed, but:

    1. Stereo is always on
    2. Don't spend long at slow speeds

      This has recently happened on mine (dstyle+) as well. The brakes need copper grease on them, that is all. Won't harm your car in any way, but you can either

      A: fix the problem yourself by taking the pads out the calipers and dabbing a bit of grease on them.
      B: tell them about it when you have your service due as a I don;t think they would entertain this at any other time (although can't be sure).

      or

      C: turn the stereo up a bit louder, and lavish in the atention everyone gives you when they look to see what is making the noise and then swoon over your fantastic looking car. just remember to wear cool sunglasses
