Ok, long story short -- I took my car in at about 5-6k miles or so because they were squealing since the first few hundred miles. I pretty much just tried to drive it and see if it'd eventually go away and it didn't. Ford replaced the pads and rotors apparently at that time and now I'm at 15k miles. They're squealing REALLY bad.
Here's a video:

I get that occasional squeal is normal and all, but this is beyond occasional and much louder than what I've ever heard in the past. The current dealership is about 25 minutes away from my house and I've always had great experiences with them, and many people in the city actually prefer to take their car here instead of the few closer ones.
Thing is, I've never heard "high performance brakes" squealing on other performance cars and I can't imagine that every single one of them are bedding them in (first time hearing about this btw a few days ago -- figured I could just buy the car and drive it). I'm usually the only car rolling in at car shows trying to brake certain ways to avoid embarrassing myself.
So I had a friend suggest G-Loc pads and I'm gonna give them a call and get some options, but just curious to see what others have done as well and if there may be additional suggestions.
