Brembo brakes

As other said you need to bed the brakes. I had Stoptech brakes on a previous car and would need to bed the brakes a couple times a year as they would start to get noisy. Bedding them in adds a layer of pad material to the rotor which will quiet things down and give better bite.

Which is exactly why they need to be bedded. Theres no pad material on the rotor. These are performance brakes and pads. The pad material they use is different from your run of the mill commuter pad. This is why they perform like they do when doing hot laps.

Did you bed your pads when you got your new car? I have 4k+ miles on my GTPP and zero noises out of my 6 piston Brembo's. I can flog it hard on back roads and generate 1.1x G's of brake force and it's still quiet as a mouse.

Have you done any 60-0 test?

Here's my 2013 GT with non Brembo brakes.

So I guess I can just mash the breaks everytime I stop and smoke the tires every green light.

That sounds like fun. Have you done any 60-0 test? Does sound like your brake pads didn't get beaded correctly.

My son worked at a Chevy Dealership for 8 years & he was in charge of beading all the Corvettes & Camaro SSs so the buyers didn't have to worry about it. Saved a lot of complaints later.

I read the white paper and get it in theory and will do.

This should / could have been included in the owners manual and is not.

Better late than never I guess.
