Brake squeal after brake burnishing
I have a Z07 with about 1500 miles. Shortly after my 500 mile brake in period I followed the burnishing procedure as outlined in the manual. Never had a squeal at that point. However, over the last couple weeks from after having about 1000 miles on the car I have developed a fairly loud brake squeal during moderate braking that starts around 60 mph and continues almost to the point of stopping the car. If I brake very either very firmly or very gently this does not seem to happen. Only under moderate braking. Has anyone experienced this? My GTR squealed like a pig so it does not concern me too much. However, given that this occurred only after the brake burnishing I am wondering whether this is something others have experienced.

I have just under 8k miles on my Z07 and during the past few days my brakes have started squealing under the same circumstances. I have not burnished them as of yet however plan on doing it very soon to see if it makes any difference.
Good luck!

Recently on a google search I came across this TSB : http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...2017-1327.html. (the solution is to add some copper paste). Haven't heard much about anyone who has gotten the TSB applied to their car or if the fix works.
I will ask the dealer about this when I go there in a few weeks for an oil change.
