Default braking noise??

hey guys i'm having a problem sometime wen i'm braking to a stop

its not like i stomp on my brakes really hard or anything..but sometime wen i come to a complete stop, i hear clickin noise.. like "click click clik (rapidly, 2-4 times) or sometime, ill only here it once

is there something wrong wid my brakes?? my wheels (18") or my rotors

what i do know as of now , is that my rotors are (wrapped) it shakes when i braking, but is this wut is causing the noises?? or is my rotor really f'ing up (perhaps cracking???) i'm on OEM rotors

or do i need new brake pads??

It could just be that your pads have an indicator thats letting you know your pads are in need of replacement. Is your brake fluid resevoir low? I had a similar issue with my pads making a clicking noise a month or so ago, checked my brake resevoir, it was low, so i checked the pads and low and behold they were almost gone and needed replacement.

if that only happens once when it's ur first stop, that happened to mine.
I went to dealer and they said it's fine.
They explain what is happening but it's been long time I don't remember.
important thing is it's ok. so =)

you know what....when I come to a stop I guess after my brakes warmed up, they start to make a similiar noise also. its been doing it for months.

I have brembos cross drilled /slotted rotors so im thinking its the material the brake pads are made of thats making it squeel like that.

I have the same thing happening to me on my `95 Accord LX.
It never made this kind of noice before and I did check my brakes and they were like new. (I've heard that they last long in accords)
Maybe this helps....

Does the clicking noice sound when the gears are switched? (I have an automatic)
I was woried that this can be a trany problem but now atleast I know I'm not alone and can you guys also post if you have a MT or a AT. Althought this does not exclude a trany problem.

I will check my brake fluid reservoir.
Also, if anyone drives an accord somewhere in the years of 94 - 97, have you guys noticed your brake pedal kind of fall in when braking but at the same time you have new brakes and normal level braking fluid?

Thanks a lot I hope this helps someone somehow.
