    Default Should the thrust arms be re-torqued...

    ...when lowering the front end? Since the car will be sitting 1"-2" lower, it seem like the bushings will be stressed if they aren't released and re-tightened...or is this a negligible difference?

    Default you should if you can, no need to stress them if you dont have to
