okay when my car is cruising it makes a squeek when not on the brakes(only from front right rotor area)then when i brake it stops but if i brake hard it gets really loud...what do yall think it is
also if going very slow i can hear it squeeaking per revolution of wheel (only 1 second of squeek per turn)is this a warped rotor or what? please help its annoying and very embarassing

If it's squeaking when you're not on the brakes, it might be a wheel bearing. If it's when you ARE on the brakes, check your pads for material remaining and/or misaligned pads.

I had the same problem I took it to hb and they said it was the lip on my rotor hitting the caliper.

That is strange. I've never heard of such a thing...

the lip on my rotors is HUGE and thats whats been causing all my brake problems and that squeak.

update: my aftermarket pads were oversized and were covering whole rotor surface plus the inner and outer lips so because it was an uneven surface it created a whisle/squeek
solution:filed down overhanging portion of pad and resurfaced rotors......vuallah!
