Default Do i need new brakes?

Just got a new scooby, MY04 UK Spec STi PPP with Brembo brakes

However, when i brake there is a slight grinding noise and sometimes a sqeak, but mainly the grinding noise

Does this mean i need new pads or something?

Ta!

yeah sounds like you may need new pads easy enough to check just whip the wheels off and have a quick look

Fur, do they make a noise at all speeds, as mine only make a slight noise with very light preasure when I come to a complete stop, but never at speed!

Maybe just the set up of the big Brembos, a bit heavy handed if you like at slow speeds, but when the speeds/preasure are greater thats when they are at their best i.e. no noise.

Just found a post on here that says about noise of the Brembos, they do make a slight grinding noise but should only be noticable at very slow speeds, i.e. in traffic.
