Sound on calipers [STI]

Have anybody notice of this chirp sound like if the pads were worn, sometimes when braking slowly while going slowly ?

I've gotten a squeek a few times this week when backing up (we've had a lot of rain lately so that probably doesn't help) but they are still very smooth and quite when braking going forward. I've only got 2400 miles right now. We'll see how they sound after my track day at NHIS in a couple of weeks though.

got 2600 miles on my sti and still get a squeek when I'm backing up or breaking while I'm moving real slow. Don't worry about it. It's just the big *** brembo's going to work. It won't go away either.

Yeah I get the same squeek when I reverse. I don't know why, maybe the way the break pads are set up, or type of break pads. I notice that the breaks put out a shet load of dust onto the wheels though. And them gold wheels ain't easy to clean either.

I've tried castrol wheel cleaner and others. Simple green works the best on cleaning the dust.
