Spring isolators & hose mod I mentioned to my buddy, last time I was at his shop,
that I was planning to change out the heater hose and
needed to look for some thinner spring isolators than
the Camaro used.
He happened to have a pair sitting in a junk tray, off
some unknown vehicle. They fit just fine and are not
much thicker than the heater hose. Standard looking
old style donuts, just not thick like 4th-gen F-body
ones.
So I think there's a standard part out there to do the
job and maybe isolate noise better. Just no number on
the pieces that I can see.

It's a medium hardness rubber but not plastic; similar in
height to the tan piece shown but very ordinary-OEM
looking.
My buddy did not know what vehicle they came off.
The settled ride height looks no different than before
(w/ hose).
