Clicking noise when braking!
Past 2 weeks ive been getting a clicking noise while braking and can sometimes feel i in the pedal, you can hear the clicking noise inside the car(with windows down) and is embarresing , click goes away when i let off, pads are a month and a half old (ebc red stuff) sounds like the pads are moving in the caliper and causing the click? Any ideas b4 i dive in and start checking

Second what mike said..check the anti rattle clips. Also how long have you had the pads on for? Have they seemed to click ever since install or just started recently? Some aftermarket pads don't fit in the caliper bracket as snuggly as they should, but most noises that are reported are at very low speed and usually when coming to a stop while in reverse (while parking the car and such). If the clicking is as present as you say it is, it should be relatively easy to locate once you pop the wheels off and take a look.

I had an issue with this when I first put my trophy sports on my blue car. I actually found out the problem to be the stainless steel brake line snapping on a piece of metal (it was so long ago I forgot what it was hitting). Have someone drive the car and look at the wheel when it brakes. If it isn't a brake line then it will most likely be the anti rattle clips.

Are you sure its not your wheel hub? Mine are on their way out and they make a clicking noise when the corresponding wheel is weighted (which also happens when you hit the brakes)?
