Default Powdercoat Springs
Can factory springs be powder coated without them cracking? I want to retain my factory height without bottoming out all he time. Also, I noticed that my suspension squeaks a lot when it's cold outside. Does the rear springs have isolators between the axle and spring? I noticed mine doesn't the other day.

We do it in the ATV world and it seems to hold up. No, the isolator is between the spring and the body.

My suspension squeaks too a lot in cold or wet weather. Both my Camaro and Firebird do it. Never known why.
