New! Prototype lower VT spring seat isolators!!
I think many of you are familiar with my upper isolators I had made theyve been a fun experience and I havnt had one negative feedback on them yet. I had a few inquiries on lower spring seat isolators.
I spent about the last 2 weeks working out a design that wouldn't raise the height much at all, and specified a rubber designed to handle a LOT more weight so there would t be an issue with wear as I know the spring usually only sits on half it's coil.
WHY?
Well it's been in my head eve since I designed the isolators for my ss that I hated having to sit brand new powdercoated springs on a rusted axle. This will basically protect your pretty springs (white stranos!!) while adding a little nvh properties to the suspension in the rear.
Anyhow here's my expensive prototype.. I have to Verify measurements and fitment still (sigh I wish I had my ss still)...

Yeah most likely it's the light making it look yellow. The thickness of the area the spring sits in was reduced as thin as possible I would have to guess 1/8 th of an inch. Ill get calipers and check thickness.
I'll have to test fit these on someone's car that's local to me as I sold my ss.

i actually want them thicker too. at least 1/4"!!
need to raise the rear of the car, and these should be much less expensive than ground control adjustable rear perches!!
send a pair on down to me, and i'll check fitment for you!!

Im going to have to ask someone local for a test fitment. Been crazy busy with weather warming up and 2 tiny ones.. !!! Will do my best to arrange with someone local for this weekend possibly.
Measurement wise they look spot on. I'll try to get a caliper to check thickness I keep forgetting !
