Brake squeaking noise

Alright so this have been happening lately on my car and its starting to get annoying. From what im hearing there is a squeaking noise coming from the passenger side front wheel. I dont know if its brake dust thats making it squeak or its the brakes or the rotor. But It's really bothering me. Every time i break it gets louder and i everytime i drive it gets a little bit lower but it still squeaks. Do you guys know whats wrong?

What pads? What Rotors? How many miles on them? The pads could simply need some brake grease on them in certain areas or maybe your rotors need the pad transfer removed. The more info you give us the better our answers will be.

ugh i forgot what pads they were but i got them from autozone. Spent about 100 bucks on them. But the rotors are the stock ones and stock brembos. I have about 1000 miles on the brake pads and the rotors and the brembos are 60,000 miles on them now.

ding ding ding! Possible issue here. Cheaping out on pads equals poor pad quality. Greasing the pads might help. I friend of mine worked at Auto zone and out of the box his pads for his S2000 were noisy.

I doubt Autozone pads would squeal. They may not work as well as OEM or some after market pads out there, but if installed correctly they should not squeal.



Did you just do a pad slap? Did you cut the rotors? Not that there is many, but did you lube all the contact points?
