I had new front discs and pads fitted 13 days ago.
I have noticed on light braking - particuarly crawling in traffic - that they 'squeek'.
Nothing is noticeable under hard/normal braking, its just when crawling along.
Is this normal while they 'bed' in?
Thanks. Finally got one......Silver HSE.

Well, I opted for EBC i'm gambling they are (appear) to be better made, and better design than factory made brakes and rotors. I replace all the way around just for simplicity. Any brake will require a break in period of at least a few hundred miles. Particularly if you haven't changed rotors. Apparently these rotors from factory are not meant for turning, which means if you didn't turn or replace, you'll get more where and noise while it wears into the current where pattern. Try spraying on some break cleaner to keep the excess dust off it and keep the rotors clean. Also, it would be advisable to do light braking during the "bed in" of the pads to new or used rotors.
