Default M030 squeaking when warmed up??

Had a bit of fun yesterday with my 924, did a sprinted, (approx20km), mountaim-climb and on my way down i used the brakes alot because i figured they are big boys and they can take it. Surely they worked perfectly, they are M030 big reds so absolutely NO fade whatsoever.
However, when they warm up a bit they squeak under harder breaking.
Anybody that can share some wisdom?

Thanks.

Start with the basics, make sure your pads and rotors are good. Also, beautiful scenery and nice looking car, I like the flares.

Pads and/or rotors can be glazed. Also the rotors can vibrate just enough to cause squeaking.

You can also apply a compound to your pads to stop future squeaking or lightly sand the pads to get rid of the surface that is hardening.

Actually they do vibrate.
Hmm...i need to straighten the disks(or get new ones) and sand the pads a bit.
Thanks, the fenders are 924 Carrera GTS...just the front bumper is a 951 FG copy, made for the early fenders.
