Question A-Arm Mystery

Ok, On my 87 944S I'm replacing both side A-arms, so i jack up the front and get the part numbers to order a new pair, right, so i order them, now I have not received them yet but was looking on paragon's site and came across this page: <a href="http://www.tech-session.com/Paragon/Info/944_arm_info.htm" target="_blank">http://www.tech-session.com/Paragon/Info/944_arm_info.htm</a>

Right, so now i'm looking at the part numbers for the different A-arms, and the A-arms that are on my car and that i ordered fall into catagory #5, that is, a-arms that would go on a car with the M758/M030 option, well i don't have that option, and a quick look at my shocks said the same thing(Black=Boge)well now do i just have a factory freak or what? maybe Paragon is wrong? the date stamped on the arms correspond with the car being an 87(original a-arms)umm that's about all i have to say, any thoughts?? <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

The difference in the part# is based upon whether the A-arm comes with bushings, ball-jionts and/or castor blocks as well. The part# on the arm is for a bare arm only, which I don't think you can even get from Porsche.
