brake squeaking on GT3

I am experiencing some severe brake squeaking on my 07 GT3 since I first got it. It happens about 50% of the time and seems to happen more often when the brakes are warmed up. Often, the squeaks will go away if I lift on the brake momentarily and re-brake. It also goes away if I brake hard. The car now has about 400 miles. Is this something that will go away as the brakes "seat" properly? Or should I take it in to the dealer? Thanks.

even after a few hard brakes, the squealing comes back, at least with me.

At least it is good to know that it is "normal"

It's funny how it wasn't acceptable to me to have squeaky brakes on the twin turbo when I was running Pagid Oranges for track use; I'd switch them back to stock pads right away, yet on the GT3, I find it totally acceptable to have ridiculously squeaky brakes
