Alright people so this has been annoying me for some months now. To cut to the chase, most of the time I brake lightly a clicking sound appears, it's a constant click until I let go of the brakes and only happens when they're applied lightly. If I press down on them hard no sound. This is coming from the front. Ive replaced the front rotors and brake pads. I've also had my suspension checked at least 3 times this month with no signs of loose joints or components. What can this be? It's really quite the annoyance. Feedback appreciated.

Are you using the stock brakes? Are all the appropriate shims and clips for the brake pads in place? Really common to see people leave out those things and wonder why they make all kinds of racket when braking.

Post tech-related questions in the tech section please.

I'd check for the pad hardware too just to rule it out at least.
