yes i put them in becus the car was not siting right and the guy befor me put shorter springs in.. i had to take the new ones out to install the new rubber bushings... the spring is set in the lower and upper pocket right..
 
I don't suppose you have any friends who crew on a race car, it'd be helpfull if you could put the car on a set of scales so you could see what each corner weighed
 
I havent had a chance to take pictures of the rear. I am in the middle of installing a 700r4. I still dont understand how it would sit level when I loosen up the upper bushings, but when I tighten them and bounce it, its uneven again!

its possible that the upper arm is bent slightly and binding when you tighten it. If the bushings were installed properly, that would be the only possible answer, based on your description of the problem. can you take a pic of the upper A arm from inside the engine bay?

there's obviously a problem with the upper bushings. You need to remove the uppers and see what the problem is.
 
Hey guys!!! I measured all four corners like you said and both right and left were within a 1/4 to 1/2 inch but I looked at the body bushings and the right side (low side) has a small gap. The left side has a much bigger gap. Thinking the bushings are sagging causing this?!
 
I've been working on it more and realized the control arms Do not hang at the same height. The side that sits low does not hang nearly as low as the high side..... I wish I knew how to :bump:
