question on Beaks kit
i got my ITR rear sway bar in my EK and in the instructions it says to re-torque every bolt after taking it for a test drive. is this really necessary? i put all the bolts on there pretty tight. all the bolts are supposed to be at 16 ft/lb and i put all of them to 20 ft/lb. just wondering if i really had to re-jack my car back up and tighten everything AGAIN.

If it's recommended, you should. Personally If I did them at 20, and it's supposed to be 16, I wouldn't. 
Just being real.

Re: question on Beaks kit (deviant1)
if the manufacturer recommends it, i'd do it, so that way if anything goes wrong, you can take it back to them. sometimes.
but i'd do it anyway, there is probably a good reason, why they want you to retorque it, and they have done research on this already, so saves you the headache.
