Mine squealed straight off the dealership floor when I bought it new a little over a year ago. Hasn't gotten any better. Doesn't seem to affect braking ability - in fact it stops better than the JKs I drove in the US a few years ago.
Like you I engine brake a lot. Squeal doesn't happen when you really step on the brakes, but slowing for lights is pretty loud.
You could always put a little oil on them I suppose

Other than the first 100kms after a service, ours squeels almost everytime.. except when you nail the brakes!
Both missus and I are pretty light on the brakes, using engine braking most times.
Figured pads might be glazing a bit from only being used lightly, but its a bit rediculous that it happens in 'normal' braking...
Any thoughts or solutions?
