Default Brake Squeal!!

Sorry for the lengthy post, but this has been a long and losing battle.
I installed a Baer Track kit in the front of my 71 Chevelle in 2008, installation was easy and works great. Basicly a C4 Corvette/ mid 90's Ford Cobra system. I started to get and squeal, warm, moderate braking, normal driving. Get on the brakes hard it goes away. Beding and breakin procedure, on a scale of 1-10, I probable would score 8. They have less than 2000 miles, only street driven on dry days. I temporarily disabled the rear brakes, it's in the front and seems to be only th right side. Here's a quick run down of what I tried; Baer pads/originals, chamfer the edges, flat sand with 80 and 180, CRC Brake Quiet # 05016 and Gunk Brake squeal Cure # M725. Wearever ceramic pads, with and wo/ Brake Quiet. Currently running EBC Red Stuff ceramic pads w/ and wo/ Brake quiet. The caliper slides; clean and dry, then with CRC caliper grease. For cleaning, 2 different brands of brake kleen, laquer thinner, prep wash for paint and body work, the rotors were cleaned w/ hot water and Zep cleaner degreaser. The rotors look almost mint, but have been scuffed up with 220 and red Scotch Bright, BG Squeal Stop, G.W.R. kit.
2 calls to Baer, tech wasn't much help, they said get them clean, but couldn't tell me what to use. They suggested getting them hot with some hard brakeing, that seem to make it a little worse, and recomended Some Raybestos pads that were not made an more.
4 Years I've been messing with this, I'm close to replaceing this Baer system with a Kore3 or possibly Wilwood.
