I know that the 10X1.5 is for Hondas, but they also make some for nissans and evos which have different threads.
Just checked mine and it's the 10x1.5.

There's also a plastic piece inside the knob itself that might be all jacked up. You can find plastic inserts that might have the same thread pitch as the ARC. I took mine out and now mine sits perfect.

Hmm, something is definitely wrong here. My ARC knob screws down significantly further than what your picture shows. As someone said above, make sure there's no plastic "spacer" inside the knob. And I believe you stated you removed the OEM retaining nut.

I have a white piece of plastic currently in the knob, is this the spacer you all talk about? If so, how do I go about removing it?

Hmm, good question. Stab it with something and twist it out? Honestly, I'm not sure.

get a long nail and tap it into the "spacer", then either pull or thread it out

Thanks to osnap, I got everything figured out. It didn't work on wither one of the cars. So I shipped it back to Evasive to see if I can get a new one. I am actually thinking of getting the T1R knob. Any comments?
