Taking it to the track stops it for a while.

This is normal. The build up of pad material, although not super dirty/dusty like traditional ones, will add to the squeal. I find that using my pressure washer to blow them out will quiet them down for a little while.

Yea usually just washing the car fixes the issue. My brakes would squeal and then like an alarm that meant "car wash time".

I think being to easy is a problem on the street. Mine have never made a sound on two cars now.

Your car has a serious and potentially dangerous flaw. I suggest you stop driving it immediately and sell it to me.

tracked the car a few times this year, no squeal but i am not running in the advanced groups yet, so maybe i am not using the brakes as hard as others. funnily enough running a few errand around town today and got my first squeal

On a serious note, are PCCB's generally more prone to squeal? At least on the street? I've heard mixed things.

^No -Same as the stock. Some will squeal more than others(many conditional factors) but over a little time they should subside
