creaking brakes?

[Michael Sheridan Williams <mike@urquattro.com>]

hey all, i have a question.  After the last track event with the UrQ, my 
brakes have been creaking.  Every time i am sitting still, and moving as 
well, and i press the brake pedal, i can hear a creaking outside and 
"feel" the creek on the pedal as well....  It still stops ok, but at that 
event, i did use up about 80% of those front pads, and in the middle of 
the event, i had enough heat in them to completely fade the system by 
boiling over the 3 month old ATE super blue fluid and necessitating a 
full (and i do mean master cylinder as well) brake system flush and 
bleeding...

My thought is that the pad is just gone, i have newly lubed the guide 
pins and the callipers look ok....  When i had the pad out last,i found 
that part of the material on the very top had melted away, or just 
crumbled off... When i had the pads out, anyway, i was able to simply 
break off part of the compound that is above the metal backing plate...

Needless to say, im about to change the pads...as im going to be at 
laguna seca in 2 weeks...so what do you all think...

later...
