So from doing some reading. Seems perrin instructions are wrong. How did people install their psrs?
Bigger spacer with extra spacer up top and smaller at bottom? Vise versa?

The directions are a little confusing but after reading through it a few times they are actually OK.

There are 3 spacers included and all 3 are needed. Two of the spacers are meant to go on either side of the spherical bearing and have a groove to align them properly. The taller of the two goes on top and the smaller one on the bottom. Then there is the 3rd "normal" spacer which you have the choice to put on the top of the bottom.
I installed mine on the top after talking with many folks. Well, truthfully I planned on trying both settings but it was an absolute PITA getting the LCA's bolted back up without the spacers falling out and such so I choose to just put them at the top and call it a day.

Yeah, the instructions trip people up.
I just did this a few months ago:

I shouldn't, that image is misleading. There would be no room for the LCA to move if it was flush with the frame. It's slightly rotated in that image.

Awesome. Thanks for the info everyone. Yea I've had my extra spacer installed on the bottom and the lower arm bangs sometime under the body. Gonna swap it out to the top today.
Thanks again.

Having the spacer on the top allows for additional clearance between the LCA and the body however I still ended up needing to clearance the body and shave the LCA ever so slightly so it wouldnt hit.
I'd be happy to snap some photos for you but I won't have a chance to get under my car for a few days.

Much appreciated but it'll be fine. I've already did a little modifying for mine not to bang with the extra spacer on the bottom. So once I move it to the top I'll have plenty of room.

Spacing the arm down gets rid of the anti-dive built into the suspension.
It also improves clearance when using the offset PSRS for the extra caster.

Some people have even suggested to increase the size of the spacer on the top ...

And reducing anti-dive is a good thing in this case, especially if you run stiffer springs to begin with, as it makes the front end more supple and reduces understeer ...Originally Posted by 03whitegsr

I was under the car this weekend installing my coilovers and took a couple more pics:
