The front brakes are only 4k miles old and they are squeling LOUD
What is the deal with these brakes? They usually squel when the car gets hot in 90* degree wether
I got them from AutoZone, might that be why?
Any advice on stopping the squeling?
I even checked the brakes and they still look good.
WTH? Why are the brakes squeling soo loud?

Some quick points, I just rebuilt my calipers.
After market pads don't come with new anti squeal shims and springs - did you replace them ?
You need follow a proper break in on the pads as the rotors are worn - have you done this ?
Are the Caliper pins in the bolts that hold the calipers on seized ? this was causing my squealing.

Heres another thing to try...
My wifes brakes squeeked really bad on her old honda and my RS.
turns out.. the brake bads had a coating on the side of the pads that werent wearing off when the pad did and was actually rolling up and always rubbing against the rotor. I took the pads off, used something to scrape that off the sides like a flat head screwdriver, and no more squeaking.
The squealing you hear could also be a wheel bearing.
