I'll add my contribution to this thread. I've been riding on my BK055s for about 3 or 4 weeks. Initially, the rear suspension felt bound up tight; particularly on the passenger side. I also experienced the clicking/grinding sound with any movement of the car. During this period, I put the car through it's paces on a 300 mile drive that included 70+mph on I95 between Philly and Wilmington. For those unfamiliar with the current condition of that stretch of road, lets say it will use most to all of your suspension travel.
The binding has minimized, but the noise continues. If I run the car through a car wash, or it rains, the noise disappears for a day or two. When the noise comes back (washed yesterday) I'll try the de-torque technique and report back.
On a related topic, I didn't replace the toe bushing at the knuckles when the BK055s were installed. The rear seems to go through significant toe changes under load with suspension travel. Is it more important to change to the toe bearing at the knuckle once the BK055s are installed?
