I am gettin some kind of clunking noise from my passanger side rear brake assembly. it comes and goes but if I push down the break pedal I get a quick clunking noise. It doesn't seem to make a difference if I am moving or not. I am also gettin a little bit of break release noise.
I have these parts installed: russel stainless steel brake lines Brembo cross/slotted rotors CF composit brake pads I have checked out the brakes now 3 times and I can't seem to find anything wrong with it. I have removed the calipar and inspected EVERYTHING and cleaned it all up and reapplied the silicone brake grease. I have aslo checked the swaybar so I know that not it either. So if neone has ne ideas of what I might have wrong - PLEASE LET ME KNOW thanks NEVERSTOP --------------------  99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |

Naw checked those
did that it seemed to help some but not much.. might of just been my imagination though 
that was the 1st thing I thought and checked it and there okay Had a friend check it out yesterday.. he had a similar prob in his 99 SI, after he installed his lowering springs, he said his prob was that the 3 upper strut bolts (strut tower) had come loose. I checked these by hand yesterday and they seemed like they might of worked themselves a little loose but wasn't able to tighten them down with nething... will try this weekend and see.. if that the prob I'll let you guys know

Its not the ebrake.. I checked that a while back. as for the brembos I got them off ebay from mastergrade. The authentic stamped bremebo.. and they just slid right on
If I figure it out I will.. check the strut tower bolts and there fine.. gonna disassemble the calipar agian this weekend and check everything out, It wasnt making the noise yesterday so who knows
