Default clicking noise when I apply brakes??

I have Brembo rotors that are drilled and slotted with performance pads. All other brake parts are stock. Recently, I noticed a ticking/clicking noise as I apply the brakes. It slows as the car slows. I looked for something hitting the rotors/tires/wheels but, can't find anything. It sounds like it is coming from the front passenger wheel. Any ideas what ths could be??

Thanks,
Todd

It might be the characteristic of the drilled/slotted disc. They make more noise than plain blank rotors.

Perhaps you can check your brake fitting it to make sure the pads are not sliding around. Dont forget the anti-squeal pins.

It might be they are just loud from the drilled/slotted rotors. I only recently drove the car with the windows down and noticed the sound. I swapped the brakes out this winter when it was too cold to have the windows down and just noticed it this week.

I thought wheel bearings but, it only happens when I apply the brakes and I'd assume the bearings would do it all the time.

Thanks guys.
