Here is the plan to modify the sub-frame and bolt to make it work:
As a side note, the stock bushing length is about 69mm for the dowel. The K-MAC supplied one is 68mm. There is a significant gap for the bushing to sit in the housing--which is why it's crucial to torque the fasteners to the limit in order to compress the coupling to reach the knurlings in order to remain stationary.
One thing I wish came with the kit was class 10.9 fasteners instead of an 8.8 since the max torque for an m12 bolt is 100 Nm, or roughly 75 ft*lbs. The OE used class 10.9 fasteners on nearly everything suspension related.
