there is a metal plate behind the rotor. its the brake dust cover. since u are using pmu rotors (prob upsized), it is prob a metal scratch metal sound. Have ur workshop to bend the metal plate backwards even more....or u can even remove the damn thing...brakes cool faster as well.

clicking sound:
it's normal and it will not go away. it's the slots that are causing it. you can try this by jacking up the wheel: when you turn the wheel slowly when cold, the brake pad is loose and will hit the calipers at regular interval due to the slots. when hot, you should not hear the sound.

if you cannot tahan the clicking, you can add a 'spring-like' (pin retainer?) thing to keep the pads in contact with the rotor at all times. i was told tt it can help a bit with the squeak too.

Yeah its prevalent only during low speed. At high speed, not much of a problem.
