Sqawling rig brake

I posted this on the General board, but thought it might get a better response here.
I'm running a Freindship II on my Wing with the Brembo brake option. It squeels to beat the band!! I've done the "Disc Quiet" routine without any positive results (rig and bike pads). Alignment of the caliper and rotor is good, no dirty components, nothing stuck between the rotor and any rig structure. I'm afraid it might just be the pad material construction, but you'd think that Brembo would've figured that out already.
I emailed California Sidecar a little while back, but haven't heard from them yet. I'm going to give them a call next week. I the meantime, if anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears.
Thanks.
I seem to remember reading in magazines a while back that if the problem stems from glazed pads, roughing them up a bit with sandpaper to break the glaze can do the trick. Seems too that I read switching the type of pad or using different manufacturers can help.
Hope this helps without turning expensive for you,
Steve
