Can you drop s4 rear control arms subframe in?

Hey guys..

I just installed mmr dtss, subframe, diff bushings in my s4..

I'm wondering if any of you know if it's possible to remove the toe control bolt for the rear control arms with the subframe in?

The reason I ask, my bushings look decent but I may buy some spherical bearings or poly them later, from what I remember the bolts were not to be removed when the subframe was in due to them colliding with the frame...any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

it is easier if you just drop it, its only 6 nuts literally, plus the shocks.
It doesnt have to go all the way down, just enough to clear
