Yup you must of got a Aftermarket Cheap LOW end one "race driven ??". so yes you will need to Trim off a bit. so you can line up the Bolts. also your chain may be 1-2 links too long (if you got the kit) , i have had a talk with them and they told me that i dont know what i am doing and the parts are a Direct replacement fit.... i have used 6-7 of there kits and 1/2 of them are NOT Direct replacement but they can be made to work. and at 1/4 the price of the dealer there still a REAL good deal.
