    Are you sure you seated the pads properly? Did you put the pads on the right sides of the rotor? The pad with the sensor goes on the inside. Did you install the shims? Also, does it just click when you brake? Did you ever hear it click when you are turning without hitting the brake? How many miles ago did you put the pads on?

      its sounds like you didnt get the caliper mounted back right or tightened all the way. it could be you got something in the caliper piston also-most of the time a clicking noise from the brake is a bad caliper or dirty piston or seal

          I'd take the caliper assembly back off, check to see if you can tell what it could be and reassemble it and see if it still does it. Make sure the caliper bolts are good and tight.
          You may be able to put the rear of the car on jackstands, pull the E-brake to simulate braking, and see if you hear the click when you turn the rear wheel. If you do, you can take the wheel off and turn the rotor by the lugs and tell exactly where it's coming from.
          I have seen a set of coilovers that were dropped so far that the threads of the perch were hitting the spring and clicking...but I wouldn't suspect that if the problem showed up with a brake job.

              Did you sand the tips off the leading and trailing edges of the shoes when you fitted them?

              When you look at the shoes like - ( ) The leading and trailing edges of the shoes have a square cut edge where it meets the drum. It should be given a light sanding to round it off.

                  good 'ol "dum" brakes. overcomplicated and undereffective. something in there is probably the culprit. you have to adjust the shoes just right so they are as close as possible to the drums without touching when at rest with that little ratchet and screw adjuster. make sure nothing is loose. is it only on one side? maybe you can compare the two. sometimes there are different length pivot pins, did you compare the old parts to the new ones to make sure they are the same?
