Reproduction Spring Isolators?
Looked through the form...about to redo the rear suspension on my '88 IROC....aftermarket tubular panhard bar, trailing links, end links for the stabilizer bar, and new rear springs.
I discovered the spring isolators are completely missing on the car. I'm aware that 4th gen isolators aren't really a good option, because they tend to raise the car...does anyone make reproduction isolators for third gen cars?
Additionally, Moog CC635 springs still considered the closest to OEM springs for the IROC?

Re: Reproduction Spring Isolators?
be I'm uncertain if the isolators are available after market, but they should be a dime a dozen in the bone yards or in our classified.
Springs? IIRC, the CC635 is a variable-rate spring. I went with 5665.

Re: Reproduction Spring Isolators?
Finding one in the junkyard shouldn't be hard.
I used moog 5665s with KYB gas adjust in the rear of my 92 RS.
I don't have any complaints
It's just a stock replacement
(It did however raise my car up 1in to factory ride height)
