Front suspension clunking only when braking at low speeds

Front suspension clunking only when braking at low speeds and softly, if I close the windows feels like on the middle front with windows open feels from the left front brakes, took both discs off, calipers, new pads, dont see anything loose but cant find the deam reason...
With the car lifted and having the engine run the wheels to duplicate the same braking scenario I dont get the noise

Inspect the bolts on the calipers and also check the pinch bolts on your coilovers... Then move onto the thrust bar and control arm mounts, and then the top hats for the struts, then the strut nut itself...

If it were me i would be checking your lower contol arm bushings. That is what will give you the clunking noise you are talking about. When the car is in the air, bushings have no load on them. So you're not going to hear or see anything wrong.

If you have upgraded suspension, also check that the drop link connections are tight. Could also be the spring hats.

Good luck!
