Rep Power: 334

My springs are sqeaking like hell in the rear, the front driver also sticks and makes a "bong bong bong" noise when turning.

All of the rubber peices that the springs sit on have ripped and fell off.

Where do i get new ones? What are they technically called? I need to buy a full set of 8, with inner diameters of 2.5 inches.

Thanks!

Its not oem parts that I need. I have D2 racing full coils. I need the rubber end peices that eliminate metal to metal contact between the bottom of the spring and the perch, as wel as the top of the spring and the mount.

2.5 inch inner diameter. I think i may try to call eibach.

i noticed on non full coilovers like the nuespeed, there isnt any rubber piece at the bottom under the spring where it touches the metal locking perches.

Does that cause metal to metal noises?

Can those metal peices touching together make squeaks? Or does squeaks imply that rubber is involved?

My rear bushings are also shot to tell, Is that the cuase of my rear squeaking?

I've honestly never seen a set of coilovers that has an isolator. My JICs have a little metal slide ring between the collar and the spring, but its just a little aluminum sheet. Teins don't appear to have anything, GCs don't either.
I don't know what this rubber thing is, but I think you can stand to lose it.
Try a little lithium grease on the spring ends, or just clean stuff up. An abundance of crap accumulating on the seat will cause the springs to rust a little, which will lead to sticking and noises.

Now that i think about it, i probably can rip it off with no problem. Im pretty sure the rubber on the top of the spring is causing the spring to stick to the mount while turning, making that bing bing metal noise.

I am pretty sure the Tein basic comes with a tiny little black rubber spring seat piece. I installe a set for a friend a little while ago.

Here is the piece im taking about. I will remove all of them as long as it doesnt cuase metal to metal clanking noises, it probably wont as long as the spring is preloaded right?

You can stand to lose those without any issues.
they're probably just there to save the anodized finish.
