Who else has had fitment issues with BMR K members????

I just test fit the BMR k member on my white Z and I have a problem. If the front 2 bolts on each side are installed finger tight, the rear hole on each side is about 3/4" from the body of the car. If I were to tighten it, I'd bend the plate for the rear lower control arm mount.

I have a really bad feeling my car won't be going together this weekend as I am guessing this K member was welded up wrong...

What are your thoughts??

Here is what it looks like on both sides. The other 4 bolts are finger tight and the k member sits flush with the car on all 4 of those spots....

Nobody? I had read before about issues but I never saw what they were.

I just installed one this weekend in our 94. I had kind of the same problem on one side and about half as severe as your picture. I was kicking around putting an additional spacer on that side.

I just bolted it up there on Saturday night so I have not yet called them. I have their number written down and plan on calling them this morning.
