Loud CLUNK after fitting Performance Friction Z Pads
Hi guys.,
I've got a Hawkeye STi on 22k , pads were still origional and needed changing so I went for a full brake overhaul. Purchased some cross drilled and vented discs from R1 concepts in the states, Performance Friction Z rated pads and Goodridge stainless braided brake lines. Booked the car in with Jon at Triton Motorsport in Bournemouth and they carried out the upgrade along with a full fluid change at the same time.
I got the car home and noticed that when you pull away and tap the brake pedal you get a very loud clunking noise coming from the front of the car. Some people have mentioned that it could be the pads seating in the calliper but do they really have that much room to move? Is it normal because my OE pads didn't make any noise at all.
Any advice appreciated, thanks chaps

Spring clips all fine and correct way round.
If the pad moves backwards when you tap the brake in reverse they must move forward again.
Otherwise if they were still in the reverse position they wouldn't move when reversing.
Think some pads are worse than others. I've owned 3 Impreza's and they have all done it to some extent.
