Did you do the work yourself or has it been done at a garage? A bit of copper grease on the edges of the pads and on the backs helps stop sqeeks and rattles. Also clean the sliders right up with some fine emerycloth and lube them Up with silicon lube to make sure they're working a ok. Sometimes it's just to do with the pad and disc combinations, some discs work better with certain pads, it down to the materials used. Could be air in the lines or old brake fluid as it's recommend change can vary from 1 to 4 years due to the way it absorbs water and lowers the boiling point.

Well if the question's going to be that vague, and lacking in the English department, my answer's going to be the same :D
Maybe then, the op will see that Johnny 5 needs more input ;)
