Cold start - brakes clicking? Or suspension?

    Some background; lifted front '22 ORP (level) with Bilstein 6112. Lift done by shop. Self installed UCAs. Work was done about 2500 miles ago. When first backing out of my driveway after a cold start, I get some clicking from the front....kinda sounds like brakes shifting in the caliper, but also feel it in the steering wheel. After I start driving, everything quiets down. Little to no sounds backing out and/or pulling in. No odd noises once I start rolling and after all warms up. No odd noises going over bumps etc.
    My question is; anyone have any thoughts about whether is may be pads shifting in caliper or possible that something may be loose? If so, any ideas which to check? If it is pads, is there any way to correct this?

    Thanks in advance

    Mine does that when cold. I have Toytec 6112 coilovers to level. I upgraded to SPC UCAs. All work performed by shop. The coilovers have been installed for almost three years, the UCAs for probably 8 or 9 months. I have had a different shop accomplish torque checks to make sure nothing was loose. What brand are your UCAs?
