I haven’t tried anything else. From what I’ve read, everything squeals that is semi-metallic, which is why I was either going to switch to organic “normal” pads or go ceramic like the EBC Red Stuff, but these seem to be ceramic too, so I’ll look into them.

And all brake noises have gone away. Either there's something embedded in your pad that's causing the noise or there's something on your rotors. I actually do track days with my car and I remove the rotor and the brake pad and put on a completely different set of rotors and brake pads when I am on the track. Now obviously my race brake pads are unGodly noisy and I'm fine with that. But those brake pads are only on for the track.
They were squealing at low speeds under light-medium braking from day one. This seems to be universal, and it makes coming to a stop in traffic unbearable. Light braking or firm/heavy braking seems to be fine, especially at high speeds.

You know, I like this idea. I’m aware that people will swap pads for track days, but that always seemed odd to me because the surfaces wouldn’t align or seat well, right? But in your case, they are a matching set.

I’ll look into doing that.
