Hey guys, I just did brakes for the first time this past weekend. Everything went smoothly and the brakes were working fine until yesterday. Under relatively hard braking I can hear a knocking sound which seems to be coming from the passenger side, possibly the rear. The frequency of the knocking seems to be relative to the speed at which I am stopping. So when I'm stopping from 50-0, the knocking sound is faster than if I'm stopping from 35-0. Any ideas what it could be?

Jack your car and perform an inspection before a caliper falls...Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

I'm having a similar issue now after my recent pad/rotor install. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks in advance.

So I've still got this issue. I went ahead and put in new control arms and M3 CABs, still nothing. I swapped the pads from the passenger's side to the driver's side to see if that was the issue and nothing changed. Any ideas?
