Rear Brake noise
Hey guys,
I have done some researching on this noise, but just want to ask a couple questions that I am still unsure about.
I have a 99 T/A Hawk with 22000 miles, with stock calipers all around and powerstop cross drilled rotors, I'm not sure what the pads are because they were put on by the previous owner a couple years back. When I'm driving at like 25 mph and above, and I apply the brakes I can't hear the noise (maybe because of all the other noises that are heard at those speeds; wind etc. But when I brake from 25 mph to 0, I hear this tic, tic, tic noise all the way until I get to a complete stop and its extremely annoying. I have not checked the brakes yet, but I wanted some suggestions on what to look for as I am a pure nuuub. This noise drives me insane. I know that my bushings need to be replaced as they are all stockers and I'm planning to do a complete suspension overhaul next spring, so those will be done then. But I'm almost positive that this noise is coming from the brakes as its only heard when braking.. Basically, I don't know what I should be looking for and what should be replaced if needed. I have read that the slider pins need to be moving freely?? I have no idea what these are haha. I'm learning something new everyday on this site and its awesome and I appreciate your guys help. I also have seen some people buying new brake hardware kits?? If this is what I need? If so where are some of the better places to purchase it from?
Thanks in advance.

O.K thanks, I will look into that.. I know it can be many things, I just want some specifics that I should be looking for as I don't have a lot of experience with this.
