RS Racing suspension rear springs - Coil Spring Isolator?

Post by Michael »

Hi:

My project continues - I'm finally reinstalling the transaxle!

So I've had Ron's RS Racing suspension installed for a few years - love it BTW :-)
Question on the rubber Coil Spring Isolators - the ones which sit between the top of the spring and the body...

When I installed the RS springs, I reused the stock rubber Coil Spring Isolators but now one of them has deteriorated to the point where I cannot use it. Any suggestions on sourcing a replacement rubber (Urethane = better) Coil Spring Isolator?

I tried Energy Suspensions (universal sizes) - but they don't seem to have the right size...
Ideas?
IS the spring size Ron uses the same as Eibach for example?

Cheers,
Michael

I got them a year or two ago at either Alfaholics or Classicalfa in the UK. I can't remember which one right now and can't find the paperwork. They are available anyway. It's the lower ones that are no longer available. I made some lower ones out of polyurethane sheets as they are not flat/step, but step/step, so a flat piece just conforms to each step nicely. But your setup on the bottom is not stock anyway.
