I'm putting in the Eibachs right now and just finished taking out the passenger side. I noticed that the new springs are flat at one end while the stock ones are round. I know the flat part goes up but I'm wondering if I can reuse my rubber isolator with the new springs. It fits but since the old spring is round, the flat part of the new springs doesn't line up perfectly with the isolator. Can I still reuse these or will I run into problems with ride height? Noises? anything?

TIA

 

This should be in the suspension board....

 

as long as they look good, i would just re use the old ones..

but since they most likely never have been changed you might as well treat your new springs with new isolators...

 

Thanx for the tip.

Md,,,I'm just gonna reuse the old ones. Now I'm having a hell of a time getting the new spring in there...

 

I took mine out of the rear entirely, no troubles , and it has been about 6 years...

 

How much will it lower it, if any? The back could be a hair lower IMO.
