Any of you guys with the clicking have center caps in your wheels? I have a small click when I go from reverse to drive that I think is the center cap. Would be worth pulling the caps to see if it goes away.

Same issue with or without caps. I don't run caps at the track.

What kind of bearings did you use? The fact that it went away temporarily makes me think that it really was the bearings, and you just killed them again. Maybe they're lower quality bearings than OEM? Or maybe the shop isn't getting them fully seated or something silly like that? Might be worth getting some OEM ones and going to another shop.

Was there a TSB for the front axle nuts like there was with the rears?

Definitely possible.
Also do you have ducting for the brakes? My s2000 is my autocross car so I don't know how the ducting plays out on these cars but I wonder if maybe there's something wrong with how you're ducting and maybe you're like cooling one side of the hub and causing the bearings to fail prematurely? Super shot in the dark but you never know.

I hate to bump this thread but is anyone else familiar with this issue? I'm getting what I can best describe as a playing card through bicycle spokes sound from the right rear on my car that slows down as I slow down. Car has never been tracked and only has 44k miles. I'd hate to have to replace a wheel bearing this soon.
