Is it normal?
I just got my brake kit that I ordered from Ben(raceconcepts) installed. I ordered the drilled/slotted. There is a squeak coming from the drivers side, cant pin point which wheel it is. Is this normal? Will it start to go away after a certain amount of time? Also, there is a slight rattle coming from behind the rear seats after I hit a pothole. I'm guessing my mechanic didnt install the SS brakelines tight enough. Am I correct or could it be something else?

Does the squeak go away if you push harder on the pedal? Do you have all the shims for the brake pads installed?
As for the rattle is it a light rattle or heavy? (how big of a part does it sound like?)

Means take another look at the brake pads to ensure they're installed with all the shims. Also check that the caliper pins are not siezed up.
