2004 Squeaky Breaks..... HELP!!
I have 3000 miles on the new baby and my brakes squeak louder than anything on the street including my girlfriends 10 year old Geo. When the brakes are warm and dry the brakes squeak loud at slow speed when applied. The dealer has put the "anti-brake squeak" compound on them. It help about 40%, but still sounds poor for a 50,000 sports car. Any suggstions????

Try to brake hard enough to just be under the ABS activtion threshold.

I have the same problems on my 2003. It goes away when I heat them up good...It just starts up again the next time I drive the car. I have to go in for an oil change, I will bitch to the dealer again, they said they fixed it last time. 2min after leaving, it started right up again....

I haven't had a single problem. I squeak the 1st time I'm on the move after a wash or parked in the rain. After that it's all good.
But what I would suggest, is some long tube headers w/ no cats and SLP Loudmouth exhaust. This will certainly drown out any OTHER sound coming from your car.
