ive tried numerous TSB and i still have constant squealing under medium braking. happens every day every time. Dealer also says this is normal. "all brakes squeal" my brakes did not qualify for this particular TSB because apparently my pistons on the calipers are different. Im due for new pads soon and im hoping by going aftermarket, ill get rid of the squeal.

I have an S model (2008). I had that same noise. Once the brakes were changed it went away. 3yrs since and no noise! However I don't recall if I paid or it was under warranty

We had an '08 sedan and the brake issue was repaired as specified in their bulletin under warranty. The sedans have different brakes on the '08's, but the Akebono brakes on the Coupes were part of the same bulletin.

Yeah well my rotors were seviced at 15k to correct the "glazing" common on the S. My car is now at 31k miles and guess what the squeaking is back. It looks like this is going to be a 15k mile sort of thing. I didn't have it corrected this time and I am going to see how long I can hold out. FYI-my car has done this in both reverse and forward at low speeds.

I ask because, if not, they could be worn down to the warning squealers by 31k miles and need replacing.
Have you tried any brake cleaner?

If you are really wanting to get rid of the squeal I would highly recommend getting some slotted rotors and/or new brakepads. I picked up some DBA 4000s for $450 a few months back and I only very rarely hear the squeal anymore. They will go through brakepads a little quicker, but the cost of pads aren't as much of a concern so long as I dont have to hear that damn squeal every morning.
I changed to the stoptech brakepads as well; They have more bite but there is a slight shudder with a low pitch noise at very low speeds (under 5mph) due to the increased bite. They also dust a bit more than the stock pads. I wasn't able to try the stock pads with these rotors to see if there was any difference in the squeal. I'll probably try some Hawk HPS pads next time I'm due.
