You are putting these on a C5 right? Then they will fit, they are made for the C5 with the tapping or grinding the top of the ball joint slightly. 
Did you look at the picture on John's site?

Is it hitting on the balljoint or is it maybe hitting the leafspring because the car has been lowered too much? A few taps of the hammer cleared the balljoint for me. On slammed cars, I could see how the leafspring might hit.
