Could you do me a favor?

If you haven't installed yours yet, then could you measure the inside and outside diameter of the rubber washers that sit under the springs? I'm thinking of getting these here instead: Coil Spring Isolators

I notice my washers binding up and I think they're going to tear sooner or later. Plus these will be a lot stiffer.

That would be a definite improvement over the rubber ones that came with the kit.
I'll try to measure them if I get a chance tomorrow. I need to do some adjustments with the preload so I'll be playing around with them anyways.

That would rock.

I totally don't understand why Hayame went from plastic (V1s) to foamy rubber spring isolators. There was no problem with the first ones. Over time, they'd bend from preload (or just regular load, I dunno). But they still did their job unlike these new ones on the V2s. The new ones don't even seem to last for 2 weeks as it seems.

I'd measure for you but it won't be but a few weeks til I get my Hayame's off. If no one's measured by then (hopefully sooner), I'll do it for you.

I thought I was the only one having problem with the rubber isolator tearing it up.

Thanks for the link Grey!

If the lsolator is the little circle at the bottom of the spring, mine ripped during install when increasing preload.

yup, that is it.


Mine is almost ripped. But today, Hayame has been replaced with B+G

RTM'd. (Or RMA'd in this case.) They get returned. I get my $ back. Money pays for B+Gs since I paid for 2 sets of Hayames... yeah... $1300.

So... Anyone know the inner and outer diameter of those rubber spring isolators yet?

so what exactly are we talking about here?? do we have to take the lil circle rubber thing off of the springs b4 we install????????
How do Hayames work for you guys?? If any of you have them for sale let me know and hit me up with $$$...
