If I don't have it installed, will it hurt my car in anyway? Also, on my last setup.. I had issues with a heavy knocking sound when I turn my wheel, due to a poor top hat.

Also, the company I bought the new setup from said I could use my stock OEM top hat. What do you guys think?

People with this setup.. give me feed back on the setup: likes, dislikes, etc... (I know I could have done a search for this question, but I might as well throw in in here).

Thanks in advance Honda-tech! Any help and feedback would be great!

Mac strut suspension is severely camber-challenged and needs a significant amount of static negative camber to work well.

Looks like only Hotchkis and K-Mac make separate universal camber plates for the RSX from what I can see, now that the GCs are discontinued. The only other options would be to mod something like the K-sport camber plates to somehow work with the Koni inserts, mod a camber plate from a different car, or have something custom fabricated. What a hateful selection.

thanks again ...

Um, the top hat should be solidly mounted to the body.

Now, if the strut body is hitting the top hat (completely compressing the shock shaft), then you're radically undersprung for your ride height and possibly forgot to install the bumpstops.

(Or I'm completely off base here. I haven't exactly looked at strut based Honda suspensions much.)

Pic 2: (What I think the problem might be.)
** I'm not sure if i need that black metal piece, as it moves around loosely. That piece came from my stock setup. I'm thinking I may need to remove that, since it really serves no purpose, or so I think.

Pic 3: (By removing the black piece, the gold ring should sit firmly with in the silver one right? thus, not needing that black piece?)

Pic 4: (the very top part of the setup.)

So im thinking i dont need that black metal piece, and that might be whats causing the sounds.? Let me know what you guys think. Do i need any rubber pieces or am i missing anything?

Thanks for everyone's input as well! Its helping me narrow down a solution for my problem.
