Its almost a necessity for PTFE/Teflon lined heim joints, otherwise they stick and never really function correctly.
On all our full heim jointed racecars (no bushings) we always break in every rod-end by spinning it up and lubing it in a mill, though you could easily do the same at home with a hand drill. Just put a properly sized bolt and nut through the joint, torque it down, and attach to a speed controllable drill. Spin it at a slow speed until it spins without excessive resistance, adding oil when necessary. Don't let it get too hot.
Never had a problem with my KTS coilovers popping, but then again I broke them in a little..

i called stance when i first got these and they actually told me not to lube them up.
something about how they won't even get inside or something.
