Excessive Brake Squeeling

A couple of weeks ago my brakes started to squeel under light to medium braking when hot. I took everything apart, cleaned, inspected and reseated the pads and it didn't seem to have any affect on the noise. Should I try reseating the pads a second time? Any other suggestions? Thanks.
My setup is as follows:
-WRX front calipers
-Racing brake rotors
-Hawk HPS pads (w/ 50%+ pad life)

Does it come from the front or the back?
When you took everything apart and cleaned it, did you clean and re-lube the guide pins?

Noise comes from the front. The guide pins were well greased and moved freely so I didn't bother to regrease them.

Hmm....
Well, you've eliminated any of the problems I've had contribute to brake squeeling. If everything is tight, you have your clips in and brake glue/goo on all the metal to metal contacts, and the pins are in good shape, I'm not sure what to tell you.
I pressume you also checked the caliper to bracket bolts?
I also pressume you're running Hawks in the back too and they are quiet?
And it only does it when they're hot?
