Hey guys, I didnt know if i should post this in Suspension or in Braking (cause i dont know where the problem is). Anyways, latly my car has been acting up, basically whats been happening is when i come to a stop i get a creaking noise, not really loud but noticable when no stereo is on. Then when i start going again after the stop, the creaking returns usually untell i hit 20+ km/h. I dont know if its my suspension being gay or if i need a new brakeline flush or what. Last time i had the brake fluid replaced was a while. What i think is happening is the brakes are not putting enough pressure on the pads when i slow down, and they are not releasing after i start off again.

Sounds like the pads are dragging cos your pins need to be lubed.

It does go away after i get past 20 km/h but everytime i slow down at the lights, i can hear it again.

There are specific High Temperature Brake lubes that would work. I believe it's called moly lube!
