Brembo performance brakes on ZL1
I have a new 2018 ZL1 with barely 800 miles on it and recently the brakes started squealing when coming a stop. I keep reading that Brembo brakes on the SS have this problem and that there is no fix for it. Wanted to see if anyone had any feedback or if anyone has had the same issue and what would you recommend?

I've had many Brembos on previous/current vehicles. Most squeal or squeak. Some worse than others. Even with proper break-in/bedding. From my own experience it seems high performance brakes tend to make noise. You'll find a lot of Ferraris and Lambos doing the same. Some people get lucky, some drive differently, not sure...but I can't identify any way to prevent it for every HP vehicle of my own.

If you brake hard a few times the noise will go away. This is typical for performance brakes.
