My front brakes clicks when pressed down too far. If lightly pressed it doesnt click. And it only happens when the car is trying to move forward. My car would be in Drive at a standstill with brakes lightly pressed, and when I press it further down it starts clicking. Doesnt click in reverse and doesnt click when Im pumping brakes in Park.

The problem you're having is the retaining clips that hold the ears of the pads in the caliper. Mine did the same thing when I put new rotors and pads on. Just take the caliper off, remove the pads, bends the clips in some..problem solved!

If you want to check them...grab your pad and try and move it..it will move inside of the caliper and make the clicking noise.
What's happening is when you're in reverse and you apply the brakes, the pad is moving to the rear of the caliper. Then when you go in drive and apply the brakes, the pad will shift forward and hit the front of the caliper, making the clicking noise.
