Anyone notice a brake squeak when the brakes are applied extremely lightly?

they're high performance brakes, they're gonna squeak sometimes!
I have people complain about brake squeak with stoptechs sometimes, it's just a fact of having good brakes with high performance street pads. When the pads are cold sometimes under light braking they're going to squeak. Porsches, Ferraris, etc do it too, it's kind of something you just have to live with.
Speed up to 30-40mph and do a hard stop, or just brake later and harder when you're coming to a stop.

They've been warm each time. It's really surprising when it squeaks, totally unexpected
I'd be driving, stop, just barely let go of the brake and SQUEAK! It's totally preventable, so I'm not worried at all.

Happened to me as well. "Bedding" the pads should take care of it.
