I have 280mm front disks and assosiated calipers etc.... I have recently noticed that at low speeds 0-30ish there is a squeek. Gets faster as I go faster, Squeek---Squeek etc.

Anyone know what it maybe

Also how hot are front brakes meant to get, after say half hour of driving mine get pretty hot, burn your fingers kinda hot, no smoke or smell tho

Any ideas?

If you get to 70 and jump on the ancors it'll get warn straight away. Sound's like you might need some copper grease on the back of the pads. How much is left on your pads?

sounds like the pads need copper greasing.

take the pads out and copper grease the ends, and the back of the pad(opposite side to the friction material) on both pads
