Default Break Pad Change now getting a clicking thumping noise

So I put some Nismo pads in my Bremboes and everything came togeather nicely. I also turned the discs before putting her back togeather. Now when I hit the brakes hard I get a thumping noise almost like the ABS is kicking in, but not quite as harsh. I am not sure what it could be as I put the car togeather just as it was supposed to!?! Did I miss something?

Just a little update. I put the old pads back in and the noise/issue went away??????? Could the pads be bad for some reason?

Ok I think I got it figured out. One of the pads was rubbing on the caliper and thus would get stuck off of the rotor and vibrate. I took a mill or two of the sides of the pad so that it could move freely and now the noise and vibration is gone. I guess Nismo tolerances is not what you'd expect!
