Rattling noise after doing breaks

I changed my front pads and rotors 1 week ago and I have had a rattling noise since. It happens whenever i hit bumps or switch gears hard. Everything seems tight and the the little pins are in the pads as well. Has anyone else had this problem? It seems like it is getting worse and when I race and switch into 2nd it makes such a terrible noise, I just can't avoid it anymore.

you need a hardware kit, or shim kit

What exactly is it?
How much does it cost?
How do you install it?

i had the same probelm with my car.. i had rattles develop out of nowhere and could not figure out the cause of it.. i had mechanics telling me it was 10 different things. finally i brought it to a friend thats a mechanic and he figured it out.. i dont know EXACTLY what it is, but it was cheap.. real cheap.. im sure someone else can better explain.. im thinking is probably just shims for you pads, cause it probably the pads rattling around...
