I'm convinced the squeaking is largely dependent upon the bedding process. The process is long, intense, and I believe few go through the full process. Seems those that do don't seem to have complaints about brakes. I've read a lot of forum threads across many makes to come to that conclusion.
If you track with CCB is an absolute no no to use any traction control. It introduced too much heat. Tracking will burn through the discs unless you can keep them cool. I believe it is possible to successfully track them, but difficult. You really need a way to continually monitor disc temps.

Given that the CCBs seems to be somewhat "delicate" or "fragile" with respect to how you can use them in a track situation, what are the practical benefits?
I know there's little to no brake dust, but that's a cosmetic advantage. Are they lighter? I've read that they're also squeaky...just seem like more of a headache than anything.
