Default I thought the LS4 brakes were bolt on?

hey wassup everyone?

I have a 94 GS3 and I got 95-00 LS4 calipers from Aliga here on CL. I read some posts here on CL and I talked to some people.. and they said its bolt on.

When I tried to install the calipers, the bottom part hits the tie rod ends. So I just shave the bottom part of it? Because I would need to do that if I want it to fit. But i'm afraid that shaving it down because it looks so close to the reservoir tank of the caliper.
