wow my brakes are squealing like nothing else right now
Both the fronts and the backs are. They each have their own pitch so whenever I stop its like they're singing a little song for me, how nice of them. They also make noise whenever I turn right without my foot on the pedal. They were fine until I went to the track. I guess its time to take them off and put more anti-squeal on. I think I also need new guide bushings because they're really not wearing evenly :/

just becase there is a lot of material left doesn't mean that the pads aren't damaged
stress cracks and glazing can cause all kinds of noises. I guarantee these pads will be noisy for the rest of the time you have them on the car.
BTDT, you can sand them down and use anti-squeal but in the long run you will be better off swapping pads and saving these for your next track event.

have you hosed your brakes off since the track event?
if not, hose them off w/ a high pressure hose (calipers, whole shabang)... that should help. It's built up brake dust more than likely.
If that doesn't help, take the pads off and lightly LIGHTLY scuff the pad surface w/ sandpaper. Maybe do the same to the rotor...
basically, you glazed your pads from the heat of track braking... this *should* fix your issue if the pressure washing doesn't.
btw, don't replace the pads... they're fine.
