Default Clunk from rear when breaking...

Very annoying noise. It happens when i break, even at very slow speeds.
After the dealer diagnosed it, recommends Brake Clips front and back.

40430 BRAKE PAD **** REC FT & REAR CLIPS FT PADS & INSULATE W/ CALIPER PASTE

Instead of going through this. Is there anything else i could do to improve the braking system?

The clips are easy to put in. I would just buy them and not worry about them. There really isnt a "fix" that you can do. Basically you pads are floating until you start to brake. The pads bang against the housing when pressure is applied.

The dealer wanted $300 per tire... It just felt that's a little steep!
