Default New Discs and Pads
Is it normal for a new set of discs and pads to whistle when you brake lightly? Just wondering as I've never had it before but I've only ever had to change pads not discs.

Does it go away after a while or is this permanent?

I belive most people have noticed with drilled and grooved disc's you have noisey brakes normally a loud squeel.

It only does it when I brake lightly. If I push harder it doesnt do it.

I hope it goes away soon hehe.

I have just changed to EBC Turbogroove discs upfront... oddly my brakes used to squeal like crazy before but are actually very quiet now!
