I know wilwoods don't have dust seals, they would probably say that was the cause of the problem just because they didn't know what was going on haha. Either that or bitch on about legality issues or something.

I've had places try to sell me new air filters, even a new clutch (something's wrong, it's too grabby! :rofl:) I have a reason to be cynical ;)

Holy Zombie thread! FYI, people- check when the last post on a subject was before necro'ing a thread. Spiller hasn't been on since February this year...

I have had the 4-pot azp kit on my car for about as long as the thread originator. The creaking sound from these calipers is apparently quite normal. They are very lightweight, all aluminum calipers and they flex when brake pressure is applied, creating the noise. Functionally this poses no problem. They are racing brakes - caliper creaking and some squealing at low DD braking speeds/style is par for the course.

Thanks for the info now someone can do a quick serve and figure out the problem or the cause
