Try track pads with higher operating temperatures. HP+ tries to be street and track, not great at either. I am not sure what size you use. I like Cobalt Friction, others Carbotech, etc. Many opinions on brands, but track pads, and I will assume that you have high temperature new fluid.

FROM WHAT I HEAR WILWOOD BRAKES EXPERIENCE CALIPER FLEX, COULD BE HAPPENING? TRY A MORE AGRESSIVE PAD AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS

What pads are you running? If your running a really mild street pad your going to always run into this issue. The wilwood calipers are great for the money and I am sure your pad and even fluid is your main issue
