No not 406 brembos

, I wish it was. When driving there is a squeek that increases and decrease as the speed does. Think its comming from the front right but my lass could hear it in the passenger seat.

Dont think its the timing/fan belt cos the tension is right. Just had new front shockers installed, and the discs are not warpped and the pads are nearly new, but the pedal is a bit spongy.

Any help on this appreciated cos its starting to piss me off, cant even play some tunes to drown it out cos the head units nakad.lol

its more than likely that the pads are sticking where they are sat in the carriers, try taking the caliper and the carrier of giving them both a good clean with a wire brush where the pad sits on the the carrier, and them grease them up with copper grease, also a bit of grease on the back of the pads also helps,
if the pads are new and discs are a bit older they will feel spongy for the first couple of hundred miles until the new pads wear to the shape of the older discs,

If that fails I would say it was one of the front wheel bearings,
hope this helps mate, I hate sqeeky brakes, I have 406 brembos!! lol

I think you can buy different discs for the brembo calipers to stop them sqeeling, havnt really looked into it that much yet, i'm sure you can though
