the shims on the pads can be re-used. i know when i do brake jobs there is a thin piece of metal (not apart of the rotor, pads, caliper, etc) that sometimes can be slightly bent inward causing a slight metal on metal scraping noise.
can't figure out a way to describe it...someone help here.

Yeah Deepu it's normal. My pads squeal like hell sometimes.
And sektor most of us have a track day on Thursday so I don't think anybody is goin to putnam. A few of my co-workers are though. One drives a Black 318ti with a roll bar and motor swap. And the other has a black e36 m3 with a roll bar. Both are instructors.
Have fun though, I heard putnam is worth the drive

Holy cr@p ... never seen anybody do that 
Now I know what you mean by dust shield. I have that only for the rears, I believe my squeaking is coming from the fronts.
You know I've had it all last year, it wasn't like this. The reason I asked you is because you went through the same parts as I did ... new Centric Rotors, new Carbotech Pads.

Squealing without braking sounds wrong to me too...
I have a problem too... I've got a nasty bumping/rattling sound whenever I hit a bump. ;/ I hope I can figure out some way to get it in the air (without paying for it. : ) before Thursday. It sounds like bad shocks... but I expect it's the sway bar.

Lee, is it rear or front? I'm pretty sure we tightened down everything, but yeah you might want to double check the bolts on the swaybar links.

Yes, that's my point too. That's why I am getting it checked at the shop
If I were you, I would take it to a shop and get it checked. Just because you are going to track the vehicle you SHOULD make sure that ANY and ALL doubts be cleared before you hit the track.
My car is currently at Mufflers & More. I am getting all stuff checked that I had doubts about.

Towels are OK as long as they don't distract you. See if you can tape them to the doors, use some kind of high absorbing material.
