Contact Ian at godspeed brakes and tell him your issue,im pretty sure he will do some sort of anti rattle shim to sort it,or at least point you in the right direction if not.

ye sounds like a clicky clonk are fine going fwd normally just clonk when driving really slow like 2-5mph or reversing with the wheels off you can wobble the pads with your hands if that makes sense just seems like the pads are loose

I had this problem and it was fixed in couple of minutes.

Turns out the retaining clips were upside down and causing the pad to move when applying the brake.

Make sure the bit that sticks out is at the top. Check online for photos!!

Good to know. I've got the same issue with mine. If you reverse and brake it clunks. Also using godspeed discs and kevlar pads.

I'll give this a try and see if it solves mine.

Had this with various pads I have used.
I don't worry about it.
At least they are easy to get out when you need to change them.
