There was zero possibility of getting them installed in that spot without grinding off the metal. I shaved just enough to get them to tight fit, and figure the 50ft-# + 90deg torque on the bolt will pull it back fully tight again. Thet don't have the teeth on the M3 bushing like the stock one does either.
EDIT: Just an FYI, after about 12 track days, and 50k miles on the car in 7 years, my OEM lower control arms were showing wear at the bushing (some slight cracking) so likely were in need of a replacement anyway. Glad I made the upgrade.
