Default Clicking when braking

I have been getting this clicking noise everytime i brake. This occurs after i back up then go forward adn stop. it clicks all the way around the car when i stop as if something at each wheel is clicking. i thought maybe the pads were moving but apon inspection they seem to not move back and fourth. im not sure if its suspension related or brake related. Anyone have any ideas?

the car is a 05 STi with 50k

Totally normal (most likely)...when you go from reverse and foreward and you get a click...right...maybe even a small pop? Ive been dealing with it for 50,000 miles.

Do a search for "pad shift". The OE brembos allow the pads to move forward and backward in the calipers and contact their abutment plates causing the clicking or knocking sound you are hearing.

That's a relief, I have noticed the clicking sound ever since I've installed my HP+ pads.
