Default Where is the rubber thing you remove by the rear springs to lower your car?

I want to lower the rear of my car a little more so it sits more level. I've heard that you remove a rubber stop of somesort ,but i can't seem to see it. Where exactly is it?

The rubber insulator seat is located on top of the coil spring. you need to take the spring out to access or remove it.

Is it ok to replace the rubber insulator with a heavy duty rubber hose?

hmmm I have never heard of this mod <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />


but seriously like BLKTA said its at the top and its about 1.25" thick. my water hoses have been doing great for about 2k miles now, sounds ghetto but its hidden and it works <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

also before I did it, I ran a search on here and found plenty of info. let me know if you want some help with it, I should be the master of rear spring information/installation here shortly <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />
