Default new kmember motor mounts, motor sits uneven ???

i took off the stock kmember and motor mounts and put on a racecraft tube k member and spohn solid motor mounts, everythings bolted up and flush. the motor sits about 1/2" higher on the driver side now. is that a problem? normal accurance? i dont see it leading to any problems, just wondering why its like that.

Are the motor mounts on the correct side? I don't have the spohn solids, but the spohn pedestals...they were marked left and right.

I thought the longer one goes on the driver side? Are the mount pads on the racecraft K-memeber in the stock locations?

*** EDIT ***
Looking over the pics on Spohn's site it looks like they show the L being the drivers side and the R being passenger side...

Correct...L should be the driver's and R should be the passenger's side. I would hope they were marked correctly.
