Default Rear spring spacers

I've got a 2000 Z28, That I have installed the Eibach lower springs all the way around. The rear sits just a little lower than I like. I would like to raise it about 1" by possibly using some rubber spring spacers that locate on the top of the springs.
Does anyone know where I can purchase these things.

Thanks

Put the stock rears back in, that should do.

If I liked the way the stock springs looked, than I probably wouldn't be asking the question.

Difference between the stack and Eibachs that I got is about 2.5" .

I have an idea. People (like me) take out the spring isolators and put a piece of heater hose on the spring instead of reinstalling the isolator, but couldn't you put the heater hose on AND reinstall the isolator? I won't make that much of a difference, but it's worth a try...

Hi

Energy sells generic ones at different thicknesses. They have the dimensions listed on their web site. They may have a match. You will have to get the dimensions of the stock isolator to match them up.

Anyone got a rear isolator off their car that they can measure for us?

Thanks JA
