Front Strut top plate Gap, is this normal?
After installing PSS9 suspension I realize I have a gap on the top strut and the plate, I'm sure it's not normal as going over bumpy roads it feels loose and clonks.
can someone let me know if its suppose to have a gap or not.
thanks.

Yes it normal to have a gap. I wanted to experiment with lessening the gap by putting a bushing underneath it to see if it changes anything.

that does not look normal to me it looks that your upper mount is toast, I would replace that and the bumper up top....I no longer have my C55 but I have done my mounts etc. a few times and 4 different sets on coil overs on my car and every time it sat flush on the bumper
