creaking noise from the drivers side calliper

Ive notice over the last 2 days a funny noise as im driving along and ive tracked it to the drivers side calliper whenever I stick my foot on the brake as the caliper clamps it lets out a creaking noise any ideas its a bit disconcerting.
I should mention I have Brembos on the front.

Sounds like you need to dis-assemble the caliper and find the creak.

What else CAN you do?

I had a similar problem as well as thumping after the brakes warmed up. Turns out it was a caliper that was getting stuck. Luckily they replaced the caliper under warranty...

I'm having the same problem, but with my Mazda 6i though. Whenever I push the brakes, the sound disappears, but when I let go of the brakes, the sound re-appears again. I might have to get it checked soon, until it worsens.
