Problem?

Last fall (October) I had the whole brake system redone, rotors, stainless steel lines, calipers, ceramic pads. in the past few weeks sometimes my brakes have been squeaking? I was just wondering how normal this is or if I should have them looked at?

It just might be that the ceramic brake pads aren't broke in yet?

Ceramic pads can cause premature wear of the rotors, check the rotors for trueness and inspect the pads.
