I seem to remember a story that Lotus themselves used this trick when importing the Elan into the US to increase the ride height (to get their headlamps up to the legal height)? They raised up the front of the cars and retightened the front wishbone bolts before shipping the cars . Once in the US after the cars had been 'checked' the dealers would set the car back to the 'proper' ride height by retightening the wishbone bolds with the front of the car on the ground.
