Long story short, they just go under the spring in the lower control arm. Because of the springs location vs the ball joint location, keep in mind whatever you add under the spring will double at the wheel. So a 1/2" spacer nets you a 1" at the tire.
Frank,

I kinda have the same situation as famous68 except with a Nova. Can you recommend a spacer/isolator to try?
