The OE pads on the 5th Gen are an excellent combination for daily driver durability and high performance braking power. If you install a pad that makes less dust and noise, you have also installed a pad that will not stop as well. Some will say they are not race car drivers and don't need optimal braking. I say, you never know when you might. When you are distracted and need to stand on the brakes, when inches make the difference between an accident and a close call. Or when a child darts into the street chasing a ball...
You can apply anti squeal paste to the back of the pad and that will help or you can embrace what enthusiasts recognize as the song of excellent performance brakes.

Succinct and to the point ^. I have never had a squeal issue with the OEM brakes on my 14, front or rear, and have assembled and disassembled them a couple of times pre and post track. Hate to say you may have to live with it, but how about stripping them down yourself, cleaning everything up, and maybe installing new OEM's to see if that makes a difference.
