Might be the abs not sure if you have it do you feel it in the pedal

SOunds like there groved disk in which case the pada are catching on the disk lips.

Not much you can do realy. just check there seated right.

did you copper grease the back of the pads? Does it feel like they're sticking in the calipers under braking?

Can you feel it through the pedal? can u describe the noise a bit better? is it a grinding or a knocking? does it get worse if u brake harder? does it sound like a loose bolt and is it only when braking u hear it? have u checked the 2 caliper bolts and the carrier bolts to make sure they aren't loose? do the pads/discs look normal?

Never had that problem with any of mine before?

I woudl check everythign is seated back correctly, something may have coem undone, or you have not refitted it correctly.

Get it checked properly if your worried as brakes can become lethal if they go wrong.

it sounds like it could be the brake pad back plate is slightly under sized i have heard the same thing on my brothers car when he fitted mintex 1155 rear pads.
if so you may need to shim up the pads

Some cars have it others don't.

they only make the noise when i roll back a little then if i go forward a little and tap the breaks thats when it clicks .

they are k tec disks jus drilled and vented ones

it sounds like the pads are clicking in

should i just go back to standard disks bcoz they have anly made that noise since i changed them

thanks for all the quick response's
