Default Clunking Brakes

I have a really annoying problem with my 4x4 cosworth, everytime I brake I get a loud clunk from the front brakes.

The front brakes are AP four pot calipers with 330mm discs, I have changed the pads but this has made no difference.

Have also replaced all the front bushes, the suspension was replaced with Chassis Dynamic springs and Koni shocks about 6 months ago along with new lower arms.

Anyone got any idea's or had this issue on thier own car? as this is really annoying me!

Mine "clunk" when they are cooling down but not when I stand on the pedal, caliper might be loose maybe?

I don't think any of the bolts are loose but will check at the weekend.

Brakes tend to clunk more once they have warmed up rather than when they are cold or cooling down.

99% this will just be a case of pad movement........ nothing much to worry about.
