Most squeaks are caused by vibration. If you chamfer the leading edge of the
pad, a small bit. Make sure the pad fits in tight with the caliper. As Gary
said the sticky shim or they have a rubber goop to paint on the back of the
pads that works well.

I have had a bas squeal for some time with a set of Wilwood brakes. I
tried several different pads but I could hear the car coming a mile away.
I talked to the Wilwood rep at a car show and he suggested a sticky shim
they have. I put the sticky shim in and the squeal has been gone.
