Default Can someone tell me which brake kit makes the clicking noises?

I have an 01 430 and its making those clicking noises when turning and braking sounds like its coming from the calipers but not for sure. I changed them a while ago and it made the noise go away but I forgot which one is it the shim kit or the fitment kit or the one with the pins? Or the caliper bolts? There's so many things I remember I went through hell last time trying to figure out what it was until I finally figured t out. If anyone knows please tell me, thanks!

What exactly do the shims do that makes them make this noise? I was leaning more towards the fitment kit but yor saying Its the shim kit from sewell I need? I rather jus change it instead of paying to regrease since they're cheap
