Brake noise on rear brakes

Bought discs from racingconcepts.net and Stillen pads from Avalonracing. Installed front brakes two weeks ago and had much no problems whatsoever. Installed rear brakes today and they somehow seem to be making a rubbing sound and it sounds like something is rattling around. I took the tires off and inspected everything, it all seems fine. I plan on taking both tires off and re-doing everything again Sunday morning. Any suggestions?

Dont know what could be making that rear noise. I mean it is pratically straight forward on the rear rotor install and brake change. All I can think of is the manual brake cable.

give it 200-300 miles to break in and seat properly.

Do you have a rebuild kit for those rear brake calipers for sale? Better yet, do you have the rear caliper themselves for sale? I let my brother drive the car slow, then he stepped on the brakes, the calipers don't open up much that's why they're screeching. They are both really gripping the discs. I think they're both shot. Please respond asap.
