Has nothing to do with proper torque. I torqued mine properly and still had clicking. Next time you have them off rub a little anti seize on the mating surfaces specifically around the hub. No need to overdo it a little dab will smear most of the surfaces. I made a thread about this fix. Frankly I wish they would sticky it so people could find it easier.

This is the common misconception from most who choose to not fix it but I'm telling you its not the rotors. My fix in the thread linked above has lasted now for about 10k miles of daily driving AutoX, track day, and most recently a hard run up the Tail of the Dragon. Still not a bit of clicking has returned. Very simple fix and I have yet to hear anyone try it who said the clicking returned. However the dealer TSB only cleans the hubs and once the surface corrosion returns so does the clicking. My fix prevents the corrosion from returning.
