I have a 94 gt that I put new shocks and springs on a few weeks ago and after letting everything settle I'm gonna go back and tighten evrything down a little more. My question is how much do I tighten the rear shocks? All the way to the end of the threads or less? The springs are Eibach Prokit and the shocks are Tokico blues. Thanks in advance.

You don't really need to let things settle as much as you did. The only thing you need to do is let the car holds it own weight (no jacks, etc) and tighten things down. This is very easy to do on an alignment rack, not so easy on the ground. Torque on the shock bolts really makes no difference, the up and down movement isn't affected by the mounting spots.

I made sure evrything was tight. I didn't leave anything loose. I just thought maybe I should retighten everything once the bushings got some use on them.

The bushing needs to squish to be the same diameter as the washer.

That's exactly what I needed to know Boss. Thanks
