good morning 9th civic

I have a 14 civic si with about 12000 miles. For the past couple weeks the front right brake has been making the typical wear indicator noise. Without taking anything apart i did a visual and the rotor and pad look in great condition. After the first 3 to 5 min of driving the noise goes away until the next morning when its cold again
Only mods are h&r springs with koni yellows.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

The factory lubricant on the pad seating surface could have worn off. I would pull the pads out and put some high temp brake grease on them to see if that helps your issue. Ihave been having the same noise on mine intermittantly and still have plenty of pad left. Haven't had time to re grease them but its the only thing i could imagine is making the noise.

Went to autozone lastnight and picked up a small 2 dollar pack of brake pad lube and a six pack of coronas . Took me about 20 min to take the pad off and relube and reseat. Didnt get a chance to drive it last night cuz of the coronas. Just drove her this morning with no noise what so ever. Thanks flightmaster.! With a site like this why would anyone need to take anything to a repair shop? Im gonna do the other three pads tonight.
