Hey Guys,

I think there was like 1 past thread about PBM S13 rear drop knuckle. It looks like the spacing is incorrect and I bought these used. Is there a shim to space the caliper further out? My Bolts are literally touching the brake disc..

I know others have had same issue. Thanks in advance.

Turns out i needed to just cut the bolts. I think the PBM knuckles are thinner than casted z32s. So it all lined up just needed to cut the bolts. Thanks again Matt!
