Default Green brake fluid and bad creaking noise after B5S4 upgrade

so i posted this on AZ and no one has responded so maybe someone her can help.


so i went ahead and did the B5S4 brake upgrade yesterday and everything went smooth but it took longer then expected since i have never done brakes before. After i was done with it and took it for a test drive i noticed my drivers side break have a bad creaking noise coming from them when i press the brakes. One thing i did notice is that it didn't do this when i was bleeding the system but started once i put her on the ground and started driving her. Also one more thing when i was bleeding the system the brake fluid that was coming out was a dirty green. Anyone know what this is?? i was thinking maybe starting to rust but i dunno???[/align]

dirty green? i think brake fluid is supposed to be a clear color wid a tint of yellow. u might wanna check the reservoir. maybe u have to break the pads and rotors in. jsut drive it for another day and see how it is.

Have it bled until it comes out clear/yellow at each wheel.
