Yeah, I'm not sure the zip tie will be able to grab anything because of the threads, but like you said, worth a shot.

I've read about a lot of people using the stock top hats. Do you know if it's just a simple swap or do you have to modify it in some ways? Obviously a big downside to doing that is that you lose camber adjustment, but do you know if there are any other big downsides to doing this?

Yes sir you do. While I'm sure it doesn't sound like it in this thread, on the surface at least, they do seem like a quality product. The guy who helped me install them is used to building 1000+ hp drag/track cars, so he's seen some pretty high end set ups, and he was impressed with how they looked for a $1500 coilover. Just hoping this is all installer error and not something wrong with the coilovers themselves.
We will see though. Tomorrow morning I'm going through everything front and rear, so I'll make sure to post my findings
