this may sound stupid but if there arent any shims on the pads this will work, get some high temp synthetic grease. put it between the pad and the piston, and on the front between the pad and the caliper. it till help to insulate any frequencies generated by the pad under braking.

well with stock brakes i know there is this sticky crap that you can put on the back of the pad between it and the piston/caliper and it prevents squeaks. Just go to Napa and ask the guys there. They will know exactly what you are talking about and hook u up.

what pads are you using, because i know wilwood will only work correctly with metalic pads

you need disk brake quiet, put some on the shims or the back of the pad between the piston and the shim/pad, actually put it whever the pad touches the caliper, when you apply the anti-squeal let it sit a minute or two to let it tack up, then put the pads back in, your all set after that.

Most of the Wilwood kits squeal like crazy. I found that they squeal under light and regualar braking, but not under extreme braking. Call wilwood and see which other pads they have available. I know they make one pad that is more like a street pad and doesn't squeal as much. Sorry I don't have a part number.
