Yes, you should always put the vehicle back on the ground under it's own weight before you fully tighten & torque any bolts on a piece under load. what I mean is there is no problem tightening the top of the shock mount, but you'd want to wait to tighten the shock bolt on the bottom of the control arm.
If you do not wait to tighten (them) you will put them in a bind when you put the vehicle back on the ground.
ALWAYS check Summitt Racing for prices first- yes, they are mainly a V8/rear wheel drive shop, but it's because of that that they usually have the cheapest prices on sport compact parts.

so if I'm doing a spring/shock install, will I have to tighten the fork/pinch bolts that are behind the wheel after I put the car back on the ground?
