It does change with speed, but not with RPM. I can't hear it when I spin the wheels by hand, and the wheel bearings don't seem to have any play in them. Should I replace them and see if that helps, or is there something I'm missing?
That is the same noise I'm getting. It's most noticable when applying brakes when something is beside me to bounce the sound back (other cars, bridges, walls, etc.).

I have new springs (Eibach), shocks (Tokico), new calipers (all around), drilled rotors, ceramic pads, steel braided lines, alignment.

I have ordered poly bushings, rb sway bar end links, and dtss eliminator bushings.
I'll let you know if they stop the clicking sounds. I read in another forum that it is most likely the sway bar end links.
