My Uppermount Hits The Strut Why???
Since I had my rear camber kit installed my uppermount hits the strut when I hit bumps and when I go over a hill kind of fast but the worst is when I put people in the back... I hate it, **** sound so loud..... Now I cant have no1 in my back seat... Is there anyway this can be fixed? Do I need to take the camber off and get the oem ones? Please help.... Now I'm afraid to put a system because of this.... What should I do? 
anyone?
anyone?

if you know whats hitting, why do you not address that problem and continue to post for no reason. If you know whats making noise, GO FIX IT stop looking for other problems if the problem is right in front of you. It basically sounds like you slammed your vic and are having clearance issues.
Dead blow hammer + tender civic sheet metal = extra clearance.

the springs upper mount? (perch) and there are no struts on the rear of the car....
seriously, pictures of the parts would help greatly.. or at least a better description.

Rep Power: 424 As I vaguely understand WTF is going on... mostly because I've heard of it... is the inner bushing housing of the camber arm is hitting the floor pan. Its because the housing on the camber arm is fatter than the OEM one, so there's much less clearance, and the car is lower (the arm angle is higher), so when you hit a bump, the arm hits the body. The fix is easy. Go under there, look where its rubbing at (very obvious, there won't be paint there anymore). Take a hammer, and make room for it.
