I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same issue and can point me in the right direction. 2002 coupe with stock Z51 suspension (plus bilstein sports) and several track days over the past few years.

When I get on the brakes (even street/light braking) the car will usually make a fluttering high pitched chirping sound. The sound almost certainly comes from the RR area. I hadn't made any new changes when it started late this summer. Bumps on braking seem to make the sound louder.

Does anyone have any specific recommendations as to what this could be?

I had a similar sound and it was the Bistein shock was shot. Push up and down on the car while stationary.

I'd bet you're right John.

Drove me nuts! My regular mechanic not race mechanic solved it in two mintues. My car is so stiff it is hard to even push down which made it hard to diagnose easy.
