CC brake question
I have the CC brake option on my 2012 CLS. During light pplication at low-speed (e.g. coming to a stop sign) the fronts tend to howl a bit. It goes away if I apply more pressure. Is this unusual, or is it just the nature of CC brakes?

From what I understand those breaks are made for the track and don't start working until they get really heated up. I was advised not to get that option, and I didn't but did upgrade the break pads and the results are amazing. It actually the first AMG i've ever had that now has quite breaks. Its amazing....
The irony is that I track this car about once a month...lol.

Thanks guys. I am ok with the squeal (it doesn't hapn all of the time) if it is the nature of he beast (and with the Renntch mods, it IS A BEAST). Just wanted to make sure things were working properly. The trade-off of a little squeal for no brake dust is worth it.
