Its not going to make a difference on the track... They serve no function besides isolating the spring from the body. What gain do you expect?

It won't affect your traction +/-

Get some 5/8" heater hose and slide it onto the spring coil, and it won't be noisy. That's what I had done with my stock springs for almost 2 years with the Koni's.
