Rolling squeak
I have been noticing a squeak while driving around 25 mph and it only happens when I'm steering just to the right of center. Once I go faster it's not there. When I'm just left of center it's not there either. I'm going to investigate soon. I was pushing it a little hard on a back twisty the other day and hit a sharp right hander. Mid corner I felt like either the tire folded under the wheel a little or something gave way. I'm pretty sure that I was hearing that before then though. I have been driving with my window down listening to the glorious exhaust sounds coming from the rear of my car since installing the new exhaust. I still haven't gotten my front LCA's fix done at the dealership.
Ideas?

Could be that too. That happened to my rear brakes. Some how rubber chunks from the drag strip got hung in my rear pads and caused a squealing. My dealer replaced my rear pads and disks. But your brakes only have a 1 yr 18,000 mile warranty according to my dealership. They covered my repair as a one time courtesy.

I'm past a year already. Could be a wonky pad or something. Going over speed bumps is like I'm driving a 76 Coupe DeVille. I might just get new pads and upgrade to Hawk HPS pads.

I personally put the StopTech pads on my cars, Brembo's or not, they're just really nice. Low dust, very low noise, great stopping power. I'm going to drive my Mustang until the pads are done (or until they **** me off enough that I can't take it anymore) and then make the switch to StopTech.

Thanks for the info on the StopTech pads and rotors. They are actually on my mod list. I want slotted rotors. A friend with a Nurburgring prepped M3 Coupe just did the front upgrade to StopTechs and they are insane.

I'd also stay away from "drilled" rotors. True drilled rotors (like Porsche or Ferrari use) aren't actually drilled but cast with the holes. Cheaper drilled rotors are actually drilled out, which weakens the rotors, and you can develop cracks between the holes. Unless you're spending a TON of cash on the rotors, stick with slotted only. When it comes to brakes, function over form every time.
