i have visited the showroom and they will give you the same old excuse

How much was the brembo kit for the fronts and did you keep the factory calipers?

i understand what ur saying but i dont think the brakes are my problem in this case, the rattles sound like they are comming from the whole body of the car

I have had the same rattling problem when the temperature in Houston dropped this winter. The noise seemed to be coming from the roof of the passenger side or thereabouts. After I put the top down a couple of times the rattling went away. Try that option and see if it works. If not, you should take it to the dealer.

I have a coupe and I am hearing a lot of annoying noises from my car. Ever since the weather got cold, whenever I go over a speed bump the suspension makes this really annoying clunking noise. The brakes also squeak like crazy. When I have my sunroof opened (in the tilted position) it makes an annoying vibration noise. The rear sunshade was also shaking, but the dealer replaced that.

It seems like my car is constantly in the dealer, theres always some type of issue. I just got it back two weeks ago after having new ESP and ABS units put in..I usually just wait a month or two and make my routine visit where I give them a list of all the issues.
