Default Brake creak

Hey all, ive been getting this weird noise and i was wondering if anyone has ever experienced this and could help me out..

When i get in my car all is well, as soon as the brake system heats up, i get a creaking noise coming from the front drivers side of the car.... the noise is most audible when the car is stopped (foot on the brake) and a little more pressure is applied to the pedal... the noise is a creaking noise, kind of like metal that is being pushed beyond its yield in tension..... anyone have any idea what this is?? Im guessing it has something to do with the servo or the MC, but not sure which one....

Side note, have a willwood 6pot bbk in the front and 60k on the car...
thanks for any help

Todd at TCE would be the one to contact about this. He is the Wilwood master tech.

My thoughts, the standard BP-10 pads overlap the rotor by a hair on the outside. This will cause noise, i grind the outside of the pad down every few months to keep from getting noise.

Not a bad idea but I'd also take a 5/16 allen to the caliper and give a slight tweek on the body bolts. Depending upon the age and build date some of the older calipers were assembled dry thread. Today the bolts are pre fit with locking compound.
