Check the pins that the calipers slide on to insure that there is no binding. No problem found there, then replace the rubber brake hoses from the body to the caliper. Good luck!

When was the last time you checked the rear shoes?
They could be source of the noise and reduced stopping effect

my back pads are also new the only thing not new back there is the rotors but they appear to be fine, i might try the new hoses on the front with almost 200000 miles they might be starting to colapse
