Vlad, my Mech says my front brake clunk is OK

About a week ago I posted about my front brakes. After doing front Mintex pads and Brembo rotors I had a noise when the car realized 100% stop.
I then cleaned the brake dust out of the calipers, put anti-squeal on pads, put high temp copper grease parts of caliper, checked the spring clips and still had clunck.
I then asked my mechanic to drive it and see what he thought. he said the clunck was just the 2 surfaces rubbing together and all was well. he said he has had good luck with mintex.
My ego is intact because I really thought I did everything correctly (and I really want to learn to do as many repairs as possible). The noise still bugs me though.
i wonder if this is a Mintex issue. I recall using PBR Delux on my classic because they were supposed to be softer(more gentle on rotors?) and most likely quieter. Perhaps next time I will go with another pad.
