I recently purchased the Pole Position A arms, (SPC performance) part numbers 94302, and 94303, for my 68 Camaro, with the Mook K5208 ball joints. I have stock disc brake spindles and could not get the ball joint to sit down low enough to close the gap on between the spindle and the A-arm. I used the spacers that come with the A-arms and got the gap to close. Upon completion of the install in the car I noticed the car sits about 2.5" higher in the front than it did with the stock A-arms.

Has anybody else had this problem?

Also the directions show one for left and one for right, but how do I know if they are sitting in the driver seat when they mark them L,R or standing in front of the car looking at the headlights. I tried putting the A-arm over the stock ones and if you flip them over either one will go in either place...

Please help....

The "left" and "right" should always, always, always be from the drivers seat. I can't think of one instance where it isn't.

Did you tighten down the bushings with the vehicle on the ground, or in the air? If you did it on the ground, cycle the suspension up and down a few times and see where it sits.

Ok good, that's how I have it, but it still sits up 2.5 inches higher. I checked it this morning and it still sits up 2.5. I tried to cycle the suspension too but no luck, it did not bring it down... :(
