Its called a high speed rattle....How do you know the inner pads are ok? have you pulled the wheels?...If it were me, I would pull the calipers, blow down the rotors down with brake clean and use some brake prep in the backs of the pads. Then lube the slide channels and the guide rods....but that just me..........

The number one cause of squeeking believe it or not is that the pad is loose in the caliper. So I agree with mustclime. Take it all apart, clean it down, change the hardware clips if needed, lube it all up, and throw it back together.

depends on the pad or the rotor, sometimes if the rotor is uneven, it will rattle. If you have those aftermarket performance brake pads, you will expect them to squeal.
