Mechanic replaced them with a new set of the same free of charge and a few days later they start squealing again. Waited it out for 2-3 weeks. It got a little better overall (squeal free 80% of the time) but in certain conditions (cold) the squeal would come back.
Mechanic was very apologetic, and very graciously offered to change them out again. He spoke to his supplier and suggested we try another brand this time. Went with Brembo pads & rotors and they've been quiet and compliant from day one.

Were they semi-mettalic pads? Those tend to squeek. But perform better.
