I just installed a new wilwood big brake kit last night and I hear a multiple clunking noise coming from the engine bay and I can feel it in the brake pedal. This only happens if I apply over 50 percent brake pressure to the pedal when coming to a stop. The clunk seems to be spread out at equal intervals when slowing down.
I drove for about 10 miles and pulled both wheels off to inspect everything and also checked for leaks. I didn't see no defects.
I have read on here that the ABS could be kicking on. Could this be it?
I feel that 50 percent brake pedal is a little excessive for the ABS to kick on or is the brake kit just slowing down the car that fast.
My brake pedal feels pretty good should I try bleeding the calipers more.
Braking seems to be pretty good minus that clunking.
Thanks for help!

I fixed it. I first took off the oem dust guard which required both wheels to come off. I think the main problem was the rotor was not flush on one of the hub's. OP just take your wheels off then put them back on making sure the rotor and the wheel is on the hub flush.

I actually have a had a "creak" that i can feel in the pedal and have had it for about 6 months. Wilwood can't tell me what it is and I have not noticed any difference in braking. It did help getting rid of the caked dust on the vent in the cent er of the caliper and using pressurized air to clean the excess out of there but i came back w/in a week.
