fe1rx, I had a question regarding the ohlins torque sheet a few posts earlier. Per the ohlins sheet, the subframe side of the rear guide rod and upper arm are listed under the torque at ride height section. per your m3 rear arm analysis, both of these connections are ball jointed, which means they could be torqued at any height. just want to confirm this is the case or is it still better to torque the ball joints at ride height?

when I did my initial install, I torque the rear arms at ride height, but it would be much easier to torque them at full extension if I had to remove them for some reason.
