Still a little confused about which control arm bushings to torque at ride-height.
Ok, I've STFA and read the tech article as well as the Stasis instructions on the Street Sport c/o kit. My understanding is that once everything is installed I need to torque:
FRONT: lower shock mount and pinch bolt(???)
REAR: lower shock mount and upper CA-to-upright mounting points
What about the inner mounting bolts on all control arms? Am I wrong in thinking that the lower ride height would place stress on these bushings if not re-torqued at new ride height? Is there anything else this NooB is missing? Thanks.

Any bolt that goes through a rubber bushing should be torqued loaded.
The specific bolts depend on your car.
But most of the A4/S4/A6 frot suspensions will include upper and lower control arms, and lower shock bolt.
