some of you may know the problem we get with sleeved coilovers how they make clunking/metal rubbing sounds when turning. so instead of greasing the springs every month, is their any rubber or ring seat that i can put in between the spring and the top hat plate of the front 2 skunk2's i have?

i know the sound is an issue with the top metal plate and the spring rubbing when turning because when i lube them up, the noise is either gone or reduced for a period of time. im thinking about finding a universal rubber seat or some sort to place inbetween.

any idea what type of product i can find for this specific issue?

The material is plastic like.

Why don't you just go to an auto parts shop and get some rubber tubing to fit around the springs?

It looks like heat shrink tubing. Check the electrical section of the hardware store.

RadioShack or Frys sells some stuff called coil wrap, its used to wrap loose wires together. Couple of bucks for a bag full. Or Home Creepo sells clear plastic tubing that'll work also.

i remember someone with the same problem you're having and they solved it by buying some spring wrap (i think thats what its actually called). i believe it looked almost like the wrap you put on headers. the guy wrapped his neuspeeds (i think) and the poping/clunking noises went away. do a search and maybe you'll find it. the thread was from a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry long time ago tho.
