[QUOTE="03snkvert, post: 14807796, member: 39207"] I think I am going to go with the tip from Eibach, but this what Maximum Motorsports says about it: Note for customers using stock rubber front control arm bushings When rubber control arm bushings are still in use, the car must be at the new lower ride height when tightening the control arm pivot bolts. If the car is placed on ramps for ease of access,[SIZE=4] [COLOR="#0000CD"][COLOR="#FFFF00"]be sure that all 4 wheels are up on ramps of equal height[/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE]. The best method is to have the car on a drive-on lift such as those found at a muffler shop. Failure to torque the bolts with the car at the new lower ride height will add undesirable pre-load to the rubber bushings. This will change the wheel rate of the suspension, increase ride harshness, and will cause the rubber bushings to wear out prematurely. Urethane and Delrin control arm bushings may have their pivot bolts tightened with the suspension at full droop, without any resulting damage or problems. [/QUOTE]
