There were some chassis produced with poorly positioned "posts" (ie big threaded stud) for the top spring plate. Mine was one of them. That would have been about 5 years ago.
I solved the problem by removing the lower spring plates from the lower suspension arm and having them welded back on so that the bump stops aligned. It was pretty easy to do - just 3 spot welds as I remember. Others moved the posts to the correct position but they are difficult to get to (specially if your car is part built) so I avoided that. Patrick circumvented the problem by using coil overs!
They weren't far out - about 1/2" - but enough so that the bump stops didn't line up. At the time Mark said that it didn't matter - I'm afraid I don't agree....
