So, I did the Mazda6 front brake upgrade today, and after a little trouble here and there I got it all working properly. I took it for a test drive and everything seemed fine. Now later tonight I went out to meet up with a few friends and I started hearing this clanking noise, which sounds to be coming from the driver side brakes, and goes away when I'm applying the brakes.
The brakes still work fine, its just the clanking is annoying. Any ideas what might be causing this?

It may be worth mentioning I got the cross drilled and slotted rotors, may it just be the new pads are just a little big and catching the lip of the slots, or something stupid like that?

I only mean't putting them back on, only other suggestion is to check lug nuts and caliper bolts otherwise I wouldn't know.
 
Yup.. lug nuts were a little loose. Somehow I forgot tighten them when I dropped the car.
Thank you
