so i have new rotors and pads and they are fantastic but lately when theres slight vibrations from like running over a little bump or something it sounds like something is loose. i donno how to explain it, i was wondering if its that 7mm allen screw on the back of the caliper, it seems like the back brake pad is sorta loose and that is making the noise. was it installed incorrectly? is there air bubbles in the lines so it releases pressure from the calipers? im so lost!!!

The first thing to do would be to make sure that the brakes are correctly assembled. For the rears that means that the spring clip is in place and for both front and rear that the guide bolts are tight.
I don't know what pads you used. Race pads don't have the spring cup on the pad that faces the piston and they will rattle. You can tell if the noise is from the brakes by just touching the brake pedal when the noise is present. If the noise disappears then it is from the brakes.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
