Default Spoon Twin Block Caliper.. Clicks

I recently installed my Spoon calipers and I need some help. The calipers do not have clips to keep the pads seated.

From that, the pads click and make the noise every time I go in reverse.

Please let me know what you have done to solve this issue.... Thanks in advance.

Well I think I've found the cure for this noise... I contacted AJ-racing and research on the net. The common fix for this noise is to bend the clips on the inside of the caliper so it acts as a spring, thus eliminating the play within... I will update with pictures when I fix this later.

^^ hey thanks for contributing to this thread. I actually found a thread from another forum and a guy used the same pad spring as you. I ordered two pad springs (#8 from the pic you posted) the other night.

Update on adjusting tabs: I adjusted the rear tabs on the calipers and the noise is minimized a while lot. I hope to eliminate the noise for good when the spring clips arrive.

I'm having the same clicking noise as well.

For the stock spring should I the one on front or rear caliper?
The red arrow pointing pic looks like DC2/EK9 front caliper but the second pic looks like rear caliper with the cross pattern the piston??
