Strano spring install ?

I have a 1999 trans am and I ordered my Strano lowering springs yesterday, I am wondering should I install the rear springs with the stock rubber piece or should I use the heater hose mod to lower the rear a little more. Looks to me like the F bodies sit a little higher in the rear so I wasnt sure if this would even it out or not!

i was advised to use the stock cups, but id the hose mod because i wanted the back to sit a little lower than it did. its your call. i doubt anyone will notice any difference in handling or otherwise on a street car.
