Brake noise while braking from high speeds
Has anybody noticed a weird grinding type of noise, and weird brake feel to the car while braking from like 100, or more??? I am taking it in for to Ford, but i was wondering anybody have this symptoms?? Is there like TSB for it?? Almost feels like a caliper problem, but the braking is good and no weird noises. Only happens when braking from high speeds.

yes i had the same noise on the 07 gt i had. started at like 8k miles and was still there when i traded it in last week with 30k on it. finally someone else who feels the same thing. feels like pads not making full contact with rotor under high speed braking. try getting on the brakes softly at about <40mph and see if you get a grinding sound then. i think it is a bad r/r shock/strut. ford might tell you its the brakes but press them and make them check the shocks. there has been a lot of complaints about squeeking rear ends under light braking. even the motor trend test shelby had to have these replaced after 2 diff dealers looked at the problem and said the infamous "no problem found". (check the newest motor trend out article inside close to back.) i hope the dealer gets everything fixed. let me know what they find. i am curious to know what that squeeking noise is before my new 08 gt starts doing it.

^^^ I see, well its not a squeaking noise. And its defenately coming from the front brakes, I can feel it, unless I am miss interpreting. Its more of a feel of grinding on the brake pedal and the whole car, almost a little like the sound of noisy tires. I dont know its hard to explain, but defenately doensnt feel normal.

if the noise is more of the entire car feels like its thumping. Well im afraid to say I have the same symptoms. The best I can think of is the ABS system trying to keep you from ending up in a ditch, I heard that noise while driving on concrete (airport style runway and legal).
I have an 07 as well.
I experienced this the first time I buried the needle, my dashhawk was reading around 151mph then I applied brakes the car slowed down quick though.
Funny enough I have your cars twin brother. Triple black with bullit wheels.

LOL nice. Your missing CAI and tune, that will put a smile in your face. As far as the braking, well doesnt really feel like abs, its weird. Almost like the pads dont make right contact at high speeds, but it brakes awesome. oh well I wonder wat the dealer will say.
