Got to lookin at tha bolt holes in tha calipers and the bolts feel awful loose, ijs cause the calipers look like their tweaking when pedal is applied, and it feels like it too when you put your hands on em..
They worked fine until a month ago when I lowered it.. Idk.. I have tried lube though, and comes back in a week or so..

89lxsport50 are you still experiencing this issue? I have a 2011 and the same thing is happening to me. I hope it's a simple fix.

Yes, it came back. I ended up swapping the positions of the inboard and outboard pads, and they stopped creaking. I assumed the pad with the shim was the inboard pad. I guess I was wrong.
I have since switched to Akebono ceramic pads because the Hawk pads squealed and dusted so badly. The new ones are dead silent with the same original calipers.
