I asked the same question on the s-car list and got this from Chad Tobin:
" I jack mine up at the factory point in the front and put jack stands under flat part of the sub-frame where the suspension mounts. In the back I jack the car where the lower contral arm attaches in front of the rear wheel and use the factory jack point for the stand. The big aluminum brackets for jacking in the front are too low to get my jack under."

Where did you find this lubricant? I google'd and could not find!
I have the same problem and am anticipating a passenger suing me for whiplash because I have to last-minute brake soas to eliminate the squeal. ECS gave me the lowdown also, so I need to do the same.
Something tells me this proceedure is going to be something that needs to be done frequently. I think rain and water will wash it away quickly.
Thanks for your help in finding this.

I put some other product on yesterday
I got some orange acrylic goo from Autozone before I heard about the Castle brake stuff. I took it all apart yesterday and applied the stuff to the back of the pads and a thin coat on the car side of the rotor mount plate. I'll be testing it today.... /crosses fingers.
