Funny click first time I brake

Any guess before I take the car up on the ramps tomorrow?
The first time I brake after travelling forward I get a fairly loud click from up front under the car. Once it does it, it won't do it again till I hit reverse, then forward again.

Any ideas?

My 02 WRX sedan has had the same click since I got it. The dealer says it is normal, the pads are slighly loose so that they shift when the wheel changes direction. My braking power is excellent and I just had my 15K service and they said I have 95% pad thinkness still.

I don't agree with the "normal" comment, but I think it is ok.

My STI does this as well. My buddy put the STI Brembo's on his RS TURBO, and he has the same thing. I wouldn't worry about it. It does not have an effect on performance. Like the road noise, just turn the stereo up.
