I never did get rid of the squeal on mine.. Even upgraded to very expensive pads. And changed the rotors to cross drilled.. Never solved any problems .. Just cleaned out my wallet looking for a fix

What pads did you end up getting? Looks like I'll be doing a pad change tomorrow, myself.
Thanks.

LOL. Thanks Randy. I was being a bit facetious.
I'll be doing some research to see what I can do. I'll try that brake bledding trickfirst to see what it will do.
And maybe like Richard, to get rid of that squeal, I'll upgrade to a GS.
I've owned about 20 cars over the years now including 2 corvettes, a mustang, and a camaro. I've never had brake squeal unless the pads wore out. Learned something new today.
See you guys tonight at Yorkdale.

Stan they do make squeaky sound but they bite hard, more the softer pads are better stopping distance, stay away from Ceramic brakes, hit the brakes in mississauga and stop at markahm....lol. Get the Z06 pads or stay with what you have.
If you decided to change in anyway, As a pro mechanicjust pay for my gas and you have me there and will install like a pro, been installed brakes prolly millions by now,....lol.
I have Hawks plus pads with factory stock Rotors, it squeaks too however stops on dime, lots of brake dust too who cares just wipe out with a soft towel.....i think still worth it just because they stops pretty good specially i way i drive...lol
