Here is your problem.

Take a look at the circled area and you can see the space between the pad backing plate and the retaining clip. I had the same thing happen on one of my APR/Stoptech calipers. What happens is that the pad is allowed to move up and down slightly in the caliper giving creating a rattling sound and a noticable clunk on braking.
Often you can adjust the clip in the caliper and/or the retaining spring in the caliper bridge to solve the problem.
Good luck.

StopTech makes these plates, which I've been told by a rep at StopTech that clears issues
like this. Clearly over priced, but it could solve your problem. See if they'll do a GB. I'd probably buy a set for less than $50.

<i>Titanium Backing Plates For Porsche Caliper
These titanium backing plates are inserted between the pad and the caliper to reduce heat transfer from the pads to the pistons. The plates make the dust boots last longer and also reduce the temperature of the brake fluid. Set of 4 plates.</i>
