Default Brake noise!

New front pads and rotors,while braking there is a noise coming from the driver side brake. Sounds like grinding/clunking noise but brakes are BRAND NEW!

Now ive been told that the brake pad moves abit in the caliper witch causes this noise?

Do you only hear the sound when changing direction for the first time? IE - backing out of your drive way, you hear a clunk, then it stops, then the first time you use the brakes when going forwards too?

Pretty much normal - you can make sure the hardware is in place and is lubed well, but might not be anything you can do about it...
