Does anyone have problems with STi brake squeal?
Brake squeal.
I notice that it does it every so often and not all the time. I wondered if it was just the pads being new and need to wear down a little. It only really happens under light braking. I dont know what to think at the moment. Maybe im the only one with this problem.
If anyone has an answer it would be greatly appreciated.

My 350Z track(which I just traded in on the STi) Had the exact same Brembo brakes. You just have to use them. I never had a problem with brake squiel. But alot of Z owners did and it was always the same complaint under light braking. So Brake 10% later and harder and you will never have the problem. I have not had the Problem on my STi yet.

You What!?
Hello moab355:
You traded in a 350z for an STi?
I was extremely interested in the track-package Z but eventually gave up on my local Nissan dealership. He wouldn't even approach my son and I in the showroom and I wasn't even allowed to sit in it to try it out for size. (I'm 6'4".) I finally had to go to the local Nissan headquarters just for that.
Anyway, I've had the STi for a couple of weeks now and am really enjoying it.
I'd be interested in hearing how the two compare!
Let us know!
Whoops! didn't mean to hijack the topic so: I've only got 250 miles on the little beast so far - Brakes are powerfull in normal driving situations so far and have exhibited no squeal at all.
Cheers, Phun.

I've had some brake noise under light braking. Normal it occurs after I've been driving, take a short break (eq. pull into a driveway), and brake lightly (eq. back down a driveway). I think a little brake noise is common with pad compounds that offer more stick.
