Ok so I had to replace my front pads. Bought a set of OEM Mazda pads. The install went fine, put those stupid wire-clips things back, bled the brakes, and it works fine. Problem is when I lightly use the brakes, the passenger front brakes squeal. Its only the passenger side front brake. They squeal when I make a left turn at over 35mph as well. Never came across this before so I'm kinda stumped. I've never used brake cleaner, but I think I will go pick some up, take it all apart an clean it to see if anything got stuck in there like a small rock or like a piece of pad.

Any other ideas?
 
did you lube the caliper sliders? make sure you do that. also, i would take the pads out and clean the surface of the rotor and the pad with some brake cleaner. perhaps something is caught in between there.
 
did you adjust the brakes in properly?

20 consecutive stops from 30mph to 0 with 30 sec cooldown on the brakes?
