This only occurs in very slow parking situations. On the road under normal driving circumstances the brakes are great.

My thinking is they put some cheaper brake pads on the car. Would that be a correct guess?

Thanks.
Stock pads tend to be bit grabby. On the ///M the CSL brakes designed for a larger car exacerbate that. Should not be the case on the 3.0.

What's the intended use? Street, autox, track, mix?

Ceramic pads may be an option, less grabby, as might be Stoptech Street Performance.
