Ratteling
Whenever i try and press on my breaks this ratteling starts to come and i usually feel it in the steering wheel. I mean like my steering wheel starts to shake and also my car stars to shake. This usually happens when i go down hill and press on my breaks. This never happens when i drive just when i press on the breaks. What can be causing this and how can i fix it?

Ditto what he ^ said.
There's a part number for your local Autozone which is supposed to be the same brake pads as TRD - I forget what at the moment though...

if you are at all mechanically inclined, get a haynes or chiltons manual and have at it. get a friend that knows something about cars and repairing them to come over and give you a hand. its not too hard but it is a bit messy with all that grease from the front hubs. do one side at a time, just incase you cant remember where something goes.

I've got a simaler problem on my '92. I replaced the front pads and the rear brakes(drums, shoes, springs) a little while ago. Before the change my braking felt fine. Now, my brakes feel a little squishy, and I'm getting some shuddering.
The brakes arn't really "squishy", they're still solid, there is just more pedal throw before they engage. I checked all my fittings, and seals so I'm quite certain the system doesn't have any air in it, and it's rock solid when the engine is off.
When I brake hard from high speed, the whole vehicle shakes. But when I brake from lower speeds, I don't get any vehicle vibration, but I get pedal feedback.

Well sense im only a junior in high school i got no time to get this stuff done. I mean i know its good to read the repair manual and learn stuff but sometimes i got no time to take my car apart and fix this problem so therefore i was just asking if like any place does it and how much they charge?

a shops charge is going to vary like crazy....its really pretty easy to do this and if you have a manual, if your free after school one day im SURE you can take care of it if you have a lighted garage with a set of sockets and wrenches...jackstands etc..
