Default BC Coilovers arrived but missing something i think

Hi everyone,

so i ordered BC Coilovers from driftaround and recieved them yesterday.. As per there description the front are suppose to have "Camber adjustable top mounts" but they don't...

http://www.driftaround.ca/products/f...-10-sc430-r-11

on another link it says adjustable top mounts are not applicable to this model...

http://iapdirect.com/bc-racing-coilo...xus-sc430.html

im confused, am i suppose to have these or no? and what are pillow ball mounts, not sure if i have those too? im going to contact them anyways...

Thankyou!

It seem to me they didn't send you the adjustable ones.

I recieved a reply from them

"
Note: Some features are dependent on model.". Your kit does not come with camber plates because your car is not a Macpherson suspension type thus the camber can't be adjusted with camber plates, but with adjustable camber arms only. We have the SPC camber arms available
"

a macpherson suspension is the hub assembly connected directly to the strut from ABOVE... usually cars under 3500lbs have that type of suspension.. anything bigger or heavier has our sc's style, so ball joint above & below with control arms.. so the strut cant be used to change the camber in this case, but the control arms can!

anyhow thankyou!
