Creaky Spring in Brakes
Not long after I took my scoob out onto the track for 30 mins I could hear what sounds like a creaking spring when coming to a stop.
I experienced pretty bad brake fade after a few laps and now the first half of my pedal has a bit of travel.
Anyone have any ideas as to why my front right brake sounds like a creaking spring when coming to a stop?

Thanks for getting back to me!
Are you talking about the wear indicator on the pads or the discs? Sorry if it's a stupid question.
Could this noise also be caused by air in the system/bad brake fluid?
I think worst case it's a new caliper but I can't see why, unless they're prone to going? It's not like the brakes bind at all.

"Are you talking about the wear indicator on the pads or the discs?"
Pads - little metal bit (on pad) starts to rub on discs as the pad wears
"Could this noise also be caused by air in the system/bad brake fluid?"
Very much doubt it....

It isn't a constant noise when on the brakes, but almost like something is hitting something as the rotor rotates so that could be it yeah! It just sounds like a spring is creaking as I start to slow right down at slow speeds, but it's definitely not a constant sound as said above.

Could it be something in the caliper causing that sort of creaking spring noise? Can't imagine it as they're just pistons?

Mine do this as well, mostly if i push the pedal slowly when in traffic or stopped.
originally thought it was the master cylinder but recent mot shiwed it was coming from the calliper.
im gonna strip them and cooper grease everything
