Left arm will go on the right side and the right arm will go on the left side. Make sure the arms don't rub on the chassis by the inner hinge pin, mine were very close.

Will you notice a difference, only you can answer that by trying them. Most people say yes though.

http://www.redrc.net/2014/12/avid-b5...m-spring-cups/

"Avid’s Avert aluminium spring cups for the Team Associated B5, B5M and B44.3 are a direct replacement for the standard plastic cups and they are of a unique angled slot design to prevent them from coming off in demanding conditions. They also fit snug on the shock eyelet to help prevent shock shafts from pulling out of the plastic shock end. The cup’s dimensions resemble the +5 Associated parts, they are machined from black anodised 6061-T6 aluminium material and come in packs of four including an Avid mini decal sheet."
