Clunking when slowing down

Recently started hearing some clunking when I brake but only when I start hitting below 30km/h, the clunks are heard. They are rhythmic, I guess you could say, till the car completely stops.
Clunk.. clunk.. clunk.. stop o.O
Any idea what this is, I did just get all new brakes/pads or what ever so I'm confuuzeled. Thanks

rear drums i'm betting? you sure you got the rear linings in properly? it sounds like they're shifting when you brake. could also have a slight warp, did you have them resurfaced?

Sounds like it's coming from the front passenger side though, could it be suspension related

Were the rotors new, or resurfaced?
Unless they had 80% or better of the original thickness after turning, they aren't worth resurfacing. They will warp.
I had my oem ones turned without issue, but they needed very little. Once those pads got worn, and the rotors wore with them, they did warp. But it didn't matter, as it all needed replaced anyways.

Hmm I'm not too sure to be honest. I know my dad took it in and got the main things done, but I don't know whether they're new or just resurfaced.
It doesnt feel like its something brake related.. I dont know how to explain it but it feels like its being wound up then it hits, you feel it on the car sorta
