I get the same, seems to be more from the prop or diff from what i can narrow down,
But I also get a knock from the BC coilovers but no one at Apex is answering the question(nothing new there)

Check the tightness of the 32mm driveshaft nuts all round (see if the staking of the nut is still in the driveshaft groove). I had the NSF nut on my car come slightly loose and it caused an infuriating clunk/click at low speed that took me ages to find.
