chassis is good. arms, I only have 1 pair, no spares. What I have learned is the new arms lower spring pocket keeps the spring more square with the upper frame pocket. I always have to cut the lowers to get correct hight with 1/2 coil off pass side to keep level.
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.
