brake noise
I was wondering if anyone else was having the same issue as I am and if they got the problem resovled. Under hard braking when I come to a complete stop, I get some loud groaning and creaking from my front brakes. My buddy who is a brake engineer says that it's probably just a characteristic of the braking system. He thinks it's because of the soft pad compound. He said the noise is a trade off for short braking distances. Anyone else experience this.

RE: brake noise
Kowalcs,
Yes, mine does too... But only when braking VERY hard. I thought I needed new Brakes at 23,000 Miles, but I had about 75% left on my pads. I also noticed heat spots on my rotor... This from 125 MPH to 45 MPH sudden (very sudden) slowing, or 90 MPH to 0 MPH stops, so I was told... No warping on the discs, just heat spots... for now... I wonder how the SRT-8 Brakes perform under harsh conditions... Hmmm...
