Brakes squeaking after 5,000 miles

[RyanGphoto]

Anyone else have this? I garage my car, hardly ever drive in the rain (unless I get caught in it somehow).. and now my brakes are squealing when I come to a stop (but only when I am going slow to a stop).

Any thoughts?

1200 miles. Have had squeaking at very low speed. I was told it’s normal.

Slotted rotors are good for refreshing pad surface during a good hard stop. Is there a difference in squeak before/after a hard stop?

Mine can squeak a little at very low speeds, more so since I went with Endless pads (but they did it slightly on OEM pads too).

It isn’t a big issue for me personally, but I can understand it could be annoying.

I am talking a fairly quiet squeak, it’s not very loud and it’s when almost at a stop.

I think it’s normal for these brakes. Hard stop can help, but I think most people will have some squeal at some point.

I'll try a hard stop to see if that helps. It's really only when I'm going slow and coming to a stop. Def annoying, but I'll see if a hard stop helps. Thanks everyone

This is a good sign shows that Lotus put decent pads in. You might be able to quiet it up with multiple hard stops really get some heat into the brakes but I don't think you'll ever get rid of it altogether.
