Question FC3S Subframe CLearance HELP!!

Hey guys i have a few questions about PBM solid bushings. First i noticed the trailing arm camber link is touching the chassis when the subframe is torqued to the car. Do i hit it out or is it due to improper install (diff risers from the bottom up and subframe risers with socket facing up and ball down). Second question, since i did not order the adjustable links the subframe camber link will not fit can i go without it? what could happen if not installed? Final question what do i do with the ebrake cables will they be fine or do i need to relocate them? thanks guys!!

I've been told the PBM bushings aren't as tall as OEM so it pulls the subframe and diff up closer to the body.

Is there any option to "shim" the PBM bushings to be as tall as the OEM ones?. I made the same mistake, I didn't bought the adjustable link.

Speaking from personal experience, you will always regret permanently banging up your chassis for a bolt-on part.

Are you running OEM trailing arm camber links or PBM?
