The bushing sleeve on my top mounts are bigger than the shock rod allowing side to side movement. My question is how/would this affect the suspension in any way and would you advise not running it like that? The bushings and bushing sleeve that came with the Progress kit fit nice and snug. Here are the pictures to show what I mean:



As you can see the difference in the bushing sleeves. The first picture is the bushings and sleeves that came with the progress kit and the second is the AMR. There are acouple things I am already thinking about doing, just wondering what someone who may be more educated on the matter might think running it with the gap between the shock rod and bushing sleeve.

 

Why are you using the amr instead of the original progress ones?

 

I don't think the progress coilovers come with top mounts, you just reuse the oem one. Never had the AMR ones but I think they come with their own bushings. Not sure never used either of those

 

Like stated above the progress kit is designed to use the oem top mount. I bought AMR cnc top mounts cuz I just wanted something that looked better than my old beat up top mounts. Had to wait 3 months after they told me 2 weeks wait time, kind of the reason I want to use them after waiting all that time. The bushings aren't interchangeable, they progress bushings are different diameter so they don't fit inside the AMR top hat housing.

 

One reason why I didn't go with amr, but that's aside the point. With the piston rod being a smaller diameter I'm not sure I would use that top hat. I hope you didn't pay too much for those.
