Sounds like it could be the pads. I get it from my Alcons.
Its just the pads settling into place.
Just my opinion.

i am so glad you said that as this is what i was thinking and noticed that when parked up the ds2500 pads have very slight play or movement and i thought it could be the pistons pushing them into place for first time in morning,cheers bud.

The BC's with solid top mounts will transmit more noises into the cabin, noises that may have been around for a while. Like my lose front hub nut, not noticed it until I fitted the BC's. Pads sounds very likely though.

You should try going on track with one....

Blyton on Saturday.

1. Got an nice easy corner wrong, went off circuit mud launches car into the air and steering wheel starts shaking.... damaged rim or bent steering ?

2. Pit to find the wheel rim packed with soil ! Remove soil and back out !

3. One lap later knock, knock, knock. CV or front diff gone ? No I managed to loosen all the front nearside wheel nuts in 1. see above.

4. Pit to re-tighten and continue.

5. Relax and put plastic back in the wallet - for now !

LOL

No room for a toy, so it has to do both duties.

Apart from an (almost) invisible mark on one rim and a barely visible bumper scuff, from an 85 mph head-butt of a cone she's fit for another go, except that I now need to use low grip tyres to avoid fuel surge at 1/2 a tank.....

LOL
