The factory arms are angled toward the outside of car. I can see it on my buick n chevelle. One other thing I apoligize for not mentioning is the bump stop under my upper control arms are cut in half. My car has never been quite as low as yours in the front. Did you use full bump stops on top or any other limiting device. My kowers appear to go lower then yours in the pic, you can see the curve in my morosos, and they are up against the shock in my pic, with rub marks on them.
chris, the rubber snubbers, both under the upper as well on the lower A Arms have not been cut and are the stock/GM rubber units as well my coil springs are exactly the same free height as the moroso trick springs.

Again, if your bending springs and breaking shocks there is a reason why and it ain't the factory a arms or springs that are the reason.
