I remember when I was at an autocross event, everyone was pointing fingers at some person for having excessively squealing brakes. At the end of the day they came to the conclusion he was using the wrong brake pads for his application which was autocross. Basically the brakes weren't getting in the optimal temperature range, thus it will squeal.

Yes, many have said that the compound has to be brought up to temp for optimal performance. I recently lubed every contact point in my calipers/pads and they stopped squealing for a while but it came back. I heard another suggestion that it might be the actual caliper pins holding the pads in place and they need a touch of lubricant. Thoughts?
