Default GTO Sping Blockers

Does anyone know where you can find the stiffeners that they put in GTO springs during shipping? I always hear them mentioned but never can actually find them for sale.

I bought an 05 Goat new and the rear springs sagged something horrible only a year after owning it.
I think they were strapped down for transport real tight, but i havent heard of spring stuffenrs being used.
Where did you hear that? just curious.

I've seen many a post through the years on various forums suggesting higher horse FWD guys buy these for their rear springs to help with weight distribution. I don't have any specific links but they always say "hey, you should get these so and so on the board has a pair for sale." but never anything more.

Hmmmm.... thats interesting! Ive had my goat since new and have read both on this forum and on ls1gto extensively for the knowledge to do some of the projects I have taken on with my car (including a full suspension upgrade) and Ive never heard of those before.
They might be out there, who knows!
Thanks for replying. Now i will be keeping an eye out for mention of these!
