Checked all your lug nuts and wheels to make sure everything was secured and installed properly?

hard braking during a turn? does it make a whirring noise too? if so it maybe your power steering pump. i had that problem recently too.

There's a break in period with brand new brakes like these, once you wear off the initial coating they should smooth out. If not then something is wrong. You should notice the brakes getting better with time, a short amount of time.
