Default Wheel squeek after rear brake install...

I just installed Stillen J-Slot rotors and Hawk HPS pads front and rear. Everything went perfectly, I bed them in and they stop HARD! I am super happy. Only thing is, I suddenly have a squeek sound coming from my rear passenger wheel. The squeek is consistent with the speed at which the wheel is turning, and there is NO squeek under braking.

Any idea what this may be? I'd like a couple of opinions before I pull the wheel and brakes off.

The e-brake shoes may need adjusting... I had a squeak as well after doing new rotors and pads.

Hmm, the e-brake shoe. Ok, ill look at that too! A friend suggested it could be one of the clips that sit on top and bottom of the caliper. Thanks for the reply!

No I didn't. You're talking about the caliper pins?
