Just the price of amazing brakes

Sounds minor
I'm sure that if your smart enough to buy the SRT8 youve already done this:
Burnishing the brake pads will help to reduce squeal and improve braking performance. Burnishing involves heating the pads to a high temperature to burn off the glaze on them and seat them to the rotor. This is done by driving the car to a speed of about 80 kph (50mph) and braking to a stop with firm brake force. Repeat the stop about ten times. Allow a full one-minute cooling off period in between stops to avoid overheating the brakes. Naturally, this procedure must be done in a safe and traffic free place, or you'll really p-off anyone behind you.
Metallic pads, as opposed to organic are more squeal prone
Also for those with delivered SRT8s: are the brakes equipped with anti-squeal shims?
Anti-squeal compounds of varying effectiveness are available to put on the back of the pads
No biggy tho
