On monday my RB5 went to my local scooby dealer to have the front discs upgraded to drilled and grooved. Same diameter. I have now done 120 slow driving/braking miles and they are sweaking on light brake preasure just before the car stops and also when braking going backwards. The service manager is telling me now (after the instailation) that this is very normal. He said the STI's do it! Is this right? ? He's comment was that the manufactures are interested in the stopping power not the noise level.
Please give me your comments as i'm pi$$ed off already.

Thanks Adam

Thumbs up

I have drilled and grooved discs from Godspeed. Mine squeaked until I fitted the special sticky pads to the back of the brake pads. Ian doesn't fit these until you've bedded the brakes in.
