could be kinda a dumb response, but have you checked that your lug nuts are tight? I had a loud pop sound when i would break, come to find out the lug nuts were loose

yeah i had the same thing happen to me,i couldnt figure it the tire ended flying off ,while my wife was driving ,some funny shit she freaked out,if there aluminum wheels check them often,they shrink and expand and the lug nuts work themselves loose

i took the wheels off and inspected everything and all looks normal,but now it seems like it only pops if i push the brake fast like a sudden stop....if i slowly push the break in like preparing to stop at a red light it dosent do it at all...i dont know what it could be

Yeah it's a bad bushing or ball joint. And the bushings will look fine mounted to the car so you have to remove your LCA's to inspect them. This is exactly what I'm dealing with on my wife's 01 Civic. It's a 2001 and already both front LCA bushings are shot, both front lower ball joint boots are torn, the end links need to be replaced, and the front engine mount is ripped (lucky she has me to save her $$$). So just imagine what shape your car is in being that it's 6-9 years older! Because I know these cars so well I can already guarantee you that both your rear trailing arm main bushings need replacing and both your front lower engine mounts are completely gone.
