2 questions, forgive me for sounding dumb.
1. your feeding the spring into the hose, end of the coil goes into the hole of the hose, with lots of lube. correct?
2. does this affect the way the spring functions during compression, make noise etc?
Thanks for your time and reply.

I got a 1/2" drop.
I don't see how 3/4" or 1" drop would be possible, since all the isolators should be molded alike, unless the springs weren't fully seated in the isolators. Meaning the end of the coil against the stop in the isolator.

I just got done installing my S60 rear end. Since I knew ahead of time that the axle tubes were thicker I knew I needed to do something or I'd really have a 4x4. I have stock Z28 springs, and I used some 1/2 heater hose that I sprayed some white lithium grease in on my springs. End result: Dead even. Looks the same as stock I guess that means that it would have sat about 1/2 taller if I hadn't of done it.
