Default K-Member installed, front wheels now sit forward more

Hey guys. Wanted some opinions on an issue I am having. Recently swapped in a BMR k-member (also did new poly engine/trans mounts and Yank SS3600). The front wheels after install sit forward more then they use to. Is this normal? I know my alignment came into spec without a hiccup (I can post it up if need be). I have attached some pics for some opinions.

Edit: Stock shocks/springs and kept the stock a-arms.

Also, I know its about 11 degrees out here in NJ but man, do poly mounts usually cause more vibrations with these vehicles (I am coming from a Ford background & this is my first LS1)? Also got a wicked knock/vibration around 30mph underneath the car that I will need to fix.

On to the pics:
P/s side


d/s side


THanks for any info guys.

I had the same problem when i did mine. I used my stock A-arms as well. I found that i accidentally switched the right and left upper A-arms. Switched them back and solved the problem. I found out by comparing my car to stock one. Hope this helps.

Poly mounts will cause a little more vibration due to them being stiffer than rubber....but you shouldn't have anything knocking. If you have a knocking you sure your torque arm bushing isn't bad? Also, try switching the poly Trans mount back to a rubber one I have heard that sometimes the poly trans mount can cause a harsher ride.
