No pillow ball mount, just shock and spring. Tein, HKS, JIC all include pillow ball mounts.

You sacrafice a slight amount of ride quality, and response is a little quicker. A lot of coilovers include this, because this is what the top of the shock mounts to....

In the pic below, it is the purple mount at the top of the shock/spring combo (the pillow ball is actually on the bottom side that you cannot see.

dwnshift said that the PB kit hey made for their race car had a HUGE impact on handling, and really reduced the bounce which was cause by too much suspension/frame "wind-up" Check it out in the search function (too lazy now)
