As you know I just picked up my JGC SRT8 two days ago. Already have 250 miles on it. When I apply the brake at speeds above 25 miles an hour, I hear a high pitched squeel that resonates from what appears to be the rear brakes. It's only when my speed is above 25/30mph and I apply the brakes to slow down, I've tested it over and over. As I decellerate, the squeel remains constant but stops once I slow down below 25. This is weird, and is this a normal occurance during the break in period with the Brembo brakes? Anyone else encounter this?
**note, this is not a squeel like from a screecher pad, but it's very tiny and high pitched. If the radio is on, even low, you can barely hear it. I notiched when I had my windows down today and my radio off, listening to the o-so-sweet exhaust haha.
936 miles on mine now, they started squeaking about 80 miles ago, i don't think it's a big problem it's just annoying having a BRAND new car and squeaky breaks.
