Everyone with the brake squeel problem..... please post if you have one or two piece rotors.
From what I have been told the one piece rotors are the main cause of the brake squeel issues. I had an 06' car here that I sold and the customer had the brake squeel issue. I tried everything you can think of from de-glazing the rotors and re-bedding the pads/rotors MULTIPLE TIMES, new axxis pads, new EBC green pads and finally two piece rotors with the stock axxis pads, problem fixed.

So many issues I forgot them all...had to pull out my service papers to remember them...
1) rear differential noise ...replaced rear pinion bearing and related components (not totally gone, but better...)
2) built with incorrect boost gauge ...replaced with correct gauge
3) passenger airbag light flickers no matter how much the passenger weighs ...hopefully will be fixed while it is in the shop now
4) ECU had incorrect speedometer programming ...reflashed pcm
5) poor throttle response ...reflashed pcm (again)
6) set cruise, get on throttle, let off throttle, car still accelerates for 2 full seconds ...still not fixed, they don't know what is wrong
7) bolts missing in oil pan and oil leaking ...fixed
8) erratic boost gauge (the new one...and was even totally DEAD for a full day, but now is still only erratic) ...still not fixed, can't find the problem
9) clutched went bad at 3K miles (what it's in for now) ...still pending word from Saleen on whether or not they will cover it under warranty
10) rear spoiler shakes on these IL roads - that thing is probably going to stress break before too long ...probably nothing I can do about it though
11) oh yeah...and all of the other little stuff that I have just accepted or haven't complained to the dealer about...
Don't get me wrong, I love the car's looks and performance, but I haven't had this much trouble with a car ever...my last mustang (2006 GT) was almost as bad though...
Has anyone ever hear of a "performance" clutch going bad at 3K miles? My dealer told me parts alone from Saleen are $999.00!!! That's insane. They better pony up on this one...
