Default Brake Squeal Issue

Had this problem since I had the beast (2/15). 31K on the clock now. Driver side rear brake squeals with light to moderate brake applied. Hard braking, no squeal. I know how to remove pads and or caliper. Just wondering if others had this issue, what was the fix?

The barnish pad procedure in the sticky is the fix most times

These brakes are gonna squeal anyways. Comes with the territory. Barnish may work but it will come back.

I don't bother with the burnishing because the squeal comes back in a week or two with normal driving anyway. I just find a good place to go hard on the brakes at about 70 mph once. That has the same result with no unnecessary wear and tear on the pads. Like others have said it kinda comes with the car. I'm used to it now.

Same problem here. I dont track the car so when they get noisy, I just heat them good and they are ok for a while. I did the burnish in the first year and the noise stop for about 1k then it was back

At springmountain, the brakes never make noise, I wonder why???
