REAR SUSPENSION HELP NEEDED!!!

I AM UPGRADING THE LOWER ARMS ON THE REAR TO A SET I PURCHASED FROM JAPWAREHOUSE. The new lower arms come with their own tappered cone bush/spacer...but this alone does not seem enough...apparantly you need to take the old cone/bush/spacer off the old arms and use. when i do this the spacing still does not seem right.....I AM UNSURE WHAT I NEED TO CANABALISE OFF THE OLD LOWER ARM SET? THE BOLT SHAFT SEEMS A LITTLE TOO LONG EVEN IF I TAKE THE OLD CONE BUSH/SPACER OFF THE OLD LOWER ARM. WHAT AM I MISSING HERE? CAN ANYONE ADVISE ON WHAT i NEED TO MAKE THE SPACING RIGHT? check the photos of the old new...any help or direction to a how to thread would be appreciated...

cheers

My driftworks ones, look identical came with two different shafts, bolts that go into the hub. I think they also fit s13, 14. From memory i used the shorter ones on my Gtr. Might have the wrong ones? Hope this helps.

Update please.

[355GTS]

I did the rear traction rods & upper camber arms as well.

[355GTS]

i did the rear lower, upper arms and also the traction rod.

The engine has been delayed due to special crank shaft delay. It finally arrived the other week. The engine is now being built. All machining is finished. Pistons getting mods. Block has been washed. Block is getting strengthened next week. Aim is to be finished by the 3rd and go to Phillip Island for testing.....

fingers crossed.
