I finally got rid of the noise by doing the following:

Front
New Centric 125 High Carbon Rotors
New Akebono ASP1346 Performance Pads (Yellow Box,NOT blue)

Rear
New Centric 120 Rotors
New Centric Posi-Quiet Pads

Pads were only 50% worn but I literally tried every lube and trick out there (inclu BG Stop Squeal) and the squeal always came back.

Other Tips:
Clean/wipe out all the old brake dust!
I used CRC Synthetic Brake Grease on the back and corners of the pads.
Don't use Akebono ProAct Pads.... crazy loud on sport brakes.

I should mention that it ended up being both front and rear brakes squealing on me.

I'm sure Akebono Performance Yellow Pads would work great on the rears as well, but I didn't want to mess up a good thing.

PS Brake Dust is amazing on the Akebono Pads
