Default Coilovers

Just wondering before I take my car to wilkinsons for adjustment...
I read that:

McPherson (eg Nissan S15, WRX) designed to have adjustable angle function, when the vehicle turns, the suspension turns along with it and thus it must use Pillow Ball Top mount along with it.

The coilovers I got have this, but the stock struts that I took out were solid they did not move other than round and round..is that right?

Yep, the coilovers and pillow ball mount attached will replace the stock stuff completely. Nothing to worry about, only enjoy when they are in

I thought the stock rubber top-hats allowed for this movement, its only slight
