no it happens when the car is on or off, moving or not moving. more of course when its on since thres more hydrolic pressure, but if i press hard enough it'll do it with it off.

It's kind of hard to tell without hearing the sound myself, but if I had to guess I'd say it's a loose caliper.

or could be the piston is locking until enough pressure is there to release it and push the pad

I have the same problem :OO...
it makes a pretty noticeable click sound when I brake. It doesn't do it everytime though... When I brake from normal cruising speed, it usually makes the Single Click sound when the car is almost stopped....

Can someone help us out please?

Do you have the shims (or backing plates, whatever they are called) installed with the pads?

I got the same problem haha . Mine does it when i brake from slow speed tho(i.e. when im pulling into a parking spot). it somehow doesn't do that when i brake from cruising speed or when i brake abruptly.

yea same here. also i would like to say, incase i did say otherwise, that i can almost feel it thru the pedal, the pedal itself doesnt click but you can feel the tick thru it, very slighty. therefore im not sure it has to do with the actual brakes, perhaps a piston in the slave cylinder or master not too sure though.

Try disconnecting your e-brake cable at the calipers and see if the noise goes away.
