Front end creaking under heavy braking in the rain

OK guys,

Take a crack at this problem. I've got a 96 Integra ls with about 125,000 on it. It does some wierd shit that I can't diagnose.

In wet conditions, and only in the wet, under heavy braking / quick acceleration I hear creaking / popping from my front end. The axles boots are fine, and over the course of the last year I'v replaced the wheel bearings and put on an Eibach pro system kit. The creaking was there before those installs and is still happening today. WTF!

Again, in the dry I hear none of those sounds. Why would the sound be intermittent and only in the wet? I have cross drilled rotors and 4 month old pads. Could the pads be shifting? Is that normal?

Thanks for any advice....

I would start by inspecting all the bushings & joints in the front suspension, then spray them with grease if every thing looks Ok.
