Metallic Clunking When braking...

I use the Allen head screws from fastenal myself. (I do have access to an impact screwdriver, but it only rings the bolts off in the hub and you have to clock the rotor differently next time.)

I found my clunk problem by jacking the car up and dropping it while watching the suspension (mine also clunked when going over bumps at low speeds).

If you could have somone walk beside you with a flashlight and watch if anything moved as you moved slowly and then braked it could help you a lot.

(The front calipers have no slides that I am aware of, so I doubt it is that).
