Question Pics of heater hose mod?

Kind of a newbie question, but does anyone have a picture of the "heater hose" mod? I want to remove the rubber perch on the rear spings and want to do it right.

Thanks!!!

kONI'S with factory springs, heater hose mod, front spring perches set to the lower setting (koni feature)

Sorry, i didn't take any pics while doing the swap.........it's pretty straight forward. Slip the hose over the entire top coil, remove the rubber cup and insert the spring the same way you removed it. You may need to lube the hose a bit the make it slip easier........

thats it. i used 5/8 heater hose, about a foot and a few inches, maybe 3 or so. spray the spring and inside of the hose with WD40, and slip it on. make sure you have enough hose so that it covers all of the spring which would usually make contact with the body of the car. so try and get one full ring around the coil.
