My rear breaks were @ 40% in april when I had my front breaks replaced. 5 days a week I drive up & down a series of hills to & from school. Lately my breaks have started to squeak & my car has started to "shake" when I hit a certain speed like it did when before I replaced the front brakes. Do you think my rear breaks need to be replaced now? How long would 40% typically last?

Rear brakes will last a long time on a Prizm, I have got 150,000 miles out of them.

Replace the rear brakes and turn drums or replace them. Also check the wheel cylinder for leaks and install a new hardware kit on the rear.
