I have an '04 ZO6 w/ 11,000 miles. The brakes have squeaked at light braking since I got it at 7000 miles. The brakes are not worn out. I realize the brakes are special on the ZO6. Are they ceramic or something special? Is it normal that they squeak?
TIA, Ed
Maybe they weren't bedded properly... And the pads and the rotor surface are now glazed. Do they work poorly when it's raining outside and they are wet? Sometimes when glazed from improper break-in they will work terribly when wet.

Ric,
I thought maybe glazed and I've rode the brakes hard going down a hill at high speed. Will this wear it off?
It was the Chevy Sales Mgr's demo before I got it so I imagine it just went to and from work and to the golf course. So probably no break in.
The work fine in the rain.

Greg,
Do you think I could just remove the wheels and spray the stuff on the pads?
BG what?
Thanks, Ed
It's more than one rotor. I guess I'll have to learn how to jack it up since my floor jack won't fit under it. You can spray the stuff on the pads too, huh?
I've got a 50,000 mile extended warranty, but I'm sure it doesn't cover brakes.
Thanks, Ed
No, once they are glazed you will have to get the rotors lightly turned and replace the pads.
