I been getting this real annoying clunk when I'm coasting down to a low mph and hitting the brakes...

Any idea?

You don't say whether you have ever had your brakes serviced, but if the stainless steel retaining clips were left off or broken, this could cause a "clunk". These clips hold both the inboard and outboard brake pads in place. There are other possible causes, but I believe this is the most likely

First, try to pinpoint which wheel it is coming from. Then jack up your car and remove that wheel. You'll see the retainer clips on the sides of the pads. Try moving the pads around. If one appears loose, then you need to replace the clip.

And while you have the wheel off, try grabbing the caliper and jiggling it. It should not move. If it moves, you need to tighten it (and find a mechanic to blame).

Edit: If coming from a rear wheel, check for excessive play in your CV joints.

i may be wrong but when i coast down a really low speed for a certain gear and then hit the brakes to slow it down even more, there is a clunk. could it be cause your into a high of a gear for that speed?

If its comming from the rear...its possible that your spare tire has come loose and is moving around back there. Might want to check that out first
