Do the springs in your lowered car rattle?

I have the Eibach Sportlines for a little under a year now and ever since I got them the rear springs rattle so bad. It is so annoying and it sounds like the car is falling apart. I know that they were installed correctly because I took them to an extremely reputable wheel shop. They tell me that all Camaro's rattle when lowered and that there isn't anything I can do. Can I put some pieces of hose or something over the first coil so that it doesn't move in the housing?

I have the sportlines in mine Shifty. Been in for about 1.5 years - no probs. I did replace the isolators when I put the springs in.

What exactly are the isolators? Is there a part number for new ones/performance ones or is it just a rigged thing with hose pieces? Any pics?

Its like a rubber doughnut that mounts between the top of the spring and the body. I think you can buy poly ones.

Not sure about the poly ones but you can order factory rubber ones from GM. IIRC they were only like $5 each.
