how to tighten suspension components properly...
I got an email today from Mike/PureMS on how to tighten the lower shock nut, etc. properly (essentially, the suspension needs to be under load).
I printed it out but left it at work, unfortunately.
Mike, if you read this (or anyone else for that matter), can you please repeat what parts need to be tightened with the wheel on the hub/ground?
I looked at the coilover install guide in the tech section, but it doesn't mention these issues.

All of the bushings that you loosen..
If you are changing shocks, that would be the lower shock bushing, rear lower shock bushing and upper a arm outer bushing.
IF you are lowering more than 1 inch, you will want to loosen ALL inner bushings and re-torque ALL of them under load.

Right
In front it's the lower shock bolt.
In the rear, it's the upright top bolt (right above the tire).
Tighten those two while the car is on the ground (or jacked up at approx ride height).

That would depend
Where are you?
Fedex ground take 5 biz days to the east coast.
We're in SoCal.
I will generally ship the RS4 grille by Fedex regardless what you select as your shipping choice.
Fedex Home does makes deliveries on Saturday.
So if you order tonight and are on the east coast, you can expect a saturday delivery.
