Rear spring rubber removal?
 
Anyone running these removed w/stock rear springs and stock front springs at the track w/relo lca brackets? What are you using as a dampener between spring and mount area? WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I removed my spring cushions in 2000, Madman told me he would do that. I sleeved the upper coil with radiator hose. Works great!!!

I removed the rear top rubber bumper and put a piece of 1/2" x 6" long heater hose around the top of the spring. It lowered the car about 1/2" to 5/8" with no adverse ride. BTW, I am running un-cut, stock springs. Try it, it works great.

I removed mine a few months ago and it lowered the car almost 1". I just wrapped the top coils with old garden hose. No noticeable difference in ride quality.

I used heater hose too. Works great with no problems. Got rid of the 4x4 Camaro stance for me.
