It's not a stretching things out thing. None of the joints you're moving around in have any bushings. It's a keep-things-in-the-right-spot-while-I-use-both-hands-to-tighten-this-down thing. You're taking advantage of slop in bolt holes, not changing the shape of hard parts.
If you're on Koni's, it's crash bolt with centering washer in the top hole, loosen both top and bottom up, move things so that the top arm is as far inboard as possible, tug outward at the bottom for any slop that might be there, find out how to hold it there (a second set of hands is useful), and then tighten back down. 1.7-1.8 is about what you get out of that. If it's factory struts, remove the reference to the centering washer.
If you want to chase the miniscule rest, pop the hood, loosen the three nuts up top, move those inboard and re-tighten.
