I ordered my bc br coilovers around 6days ago and i just got my coilovers today.. Finally! .. And as soon as i grabbed one of them. I was really shocked looking at this... I guess im really noob to coilovers or.. This is not normal? I have no idea.. Top parts of coilovers are movable? I have no idea what to do...
Couldnt even find out if its normal or not. Please help this coilover noob thx :)

That is normal. It is your adjustable camber plates moving around. Tighten it after install and you will be fine.

It's ok - that's normal and designed to do that...it's the pillowball mount.

*EDIT*

Just to clarify - what @HATED1 said isn't wrong - the camber plates are moving around the pillowball - which is a spherical bearing - allowing you to adjust the camber. (picture this: camber plate is attached to strut tower and doesn't move or tilt, when camber is changed the strut tilts and pivots around the pillowball mount/bearing)

Nope. They're shot. I'll give $200 for em...have to rebuild em anyways.
