noob alert lol

I have officially decided to go with the tein ss coilover kit but im new to the suspension world and am curious as to what the difference is with and without the pillowball mounts? And what exactly is the top mount bearing that tein states i must buy 01' top mount bearing??? I'm driving the 02' civic any reccomendations of what else would i need to make it all a go with the installation? I was also looking at the camber kits but i want to see how the car sits without them first b4 i make a decision on them. thanks alot guys hope to hear some good input

^ what he said but the pillow ball and the plate assist in adjusting the camber and ability to change the dampening factor

A pillowball is merely the spherical bearing.
The rest of the crap is extra stuff that it also has. You can have a stationary pillowball. The only thing the PB affords is a solid upper mount (i.e. no rubber isolator).

you need to do some searching and make that decision yourself. Its dependent on the way you intend to drive the car and how much stuff you feel you actually need.
