I drove it to work a couple days this week and didn't notice any significant changes in the braking action, although it's never exactly stopped on a dime to begin with.
I forgot to listen for the rattling, but hopefully the fact that I didn't notice it is a good sign...
"Meh" brake performance is usually the tires. Especially if you can lock the wheels on a hard stop. But traction is a hard problem to solve in stock tires sizes.

Hmm, I have Ohtsus on the front that have about 23K miles on them, rears are Cobras that I just got a few months ago. They're the correct sizes but prior to replacing the rears I had Ohtsus in the 225 size. Both sets were new when I bought the car but for some reason the rears wore out faster. I'm not doing burnouts, I swear!
Once you get good at threshold braking you'll probably find that its easy to lock up the wheels on those tires. Seems like all of the 14/15 tires out there have high treadwear / low traction.
If you can't lock up the wheels with a good stab of the pedal then the brakes need help.
