I'm trying to help a buddy of mine fix his brakes from squeaking horribly bad. He has the Evo 8 Brembos (front 4 piston calipers) with Hawk HPS pads. I've run HPS pads quite a few times and they neve squeaked this bad, not even close. You can hear his a block away!

So, he has brand new pads, rotors, and his calipers are rebuilt. We put some brake squeal stuff on the shims, the pad alignment pins, and the metal tensioner thing that goes on top of the pads. Everywhere there is metal to metal contact, we lubes it up. Did all of that, and still is bad. Any ideas to try?
