Godspeed 335mm brakes - pad rattle
Guys need some help please just got back from garage where kit was fitted to my my05 wrx.
Brakes are a definite improvement over the standard brakes only problem is the front right pad has a bit of play which is causing the rattle at low speeds. Think it might be due to the split pins on the pads, dont think it is dangerous just really annoying, can anyone advise how to fix please, I've got some track time coming up soon and want to make sure everything is ok
thanks
Iain

Sticky Piston?
Bit of an update, had a chat with DaveBeck who thinks it may be a sticking piston and I think he may be right. I had this problem before with the standard brakes, an odd 'clunking' noise coming from the front right when going over small bumps, manhole covers etc. Now with the new kit fitted the noise is still there, although louder this time.
My problem though is how can I get this sorted before next weekend, I'm pretty handy with a screwdriver but things like brakes I tend to leave to the experts. I have a track session next saturday and I work fulltime during the week, any ideas will be welcome
I'd also just like to add that I think the brakes are good, and this problem does not reflect godspeed in anyway

My calipers are fine, no sticky pistons etc, pads are wearing evenly both sides, I think its just something you'll have to live with, unless godspeed have a mod for stopping the rattle

Where can I get one from and how easy is it to fit, I really need to get this sorted by next saturday.
Funny how it is only from the driver side though?

It could be that the spring clip has come off , it only hooks onto the pins , when I fit this kit I reshape the clip slightly so it holds onto the pins a bit better , this way it will never come off
It could be that one side has come off

I have the Godspeed 335mm kit and had to remove th anti rattle clips as they were hitting the wheels on my RB5. I tried to reshape the clips by bending them but just couldnt get them bent enough to clear the wheels, so i just binned them 
....result....but now my pads will rattle when travelling slowly around 20-30mph, its annoying yes, but its doing no harm and at least the wheels will not get marked now
