Is it just a squeak? If so, that's normal. The Brembos up front are indeed high performance brakes, and as such make noise - especially when cold. Now that the temperatures are dropping, they'll make noise more often. You'll notice the squeak goes away once the pads get some heat in them.

Are your rotors scored and damaged? I suppose you could have brake damage, but that's more of a grinding sound. If it's just a high pitched squeak, it's more than likely just the Brembos being annoying.

My fronts squeak, it is pretty loud and embrassing pulling up next to someone at a light. My rotors are in great shape, no scoring. It just kinda blows.

just because the outside looks good doesnt mean the inside does. You should take a look from the inside and there could be uneven wearing or something could of gotten on your rotor.
