> Designed mainly for cars with sagging springs they go int between th coils and installed that way are supposed to lift the front end an 1" because the creation more spring tension on the sagging springs. Installed at the spring seat they should only lift the car the .562 inch height. Perfect for me

I don’t understand that… Do you mean putting one above and one below the spring? How does that create spring tension? Or do you mean inbetween binding coils maybe lol idk. Jw how that’s supposed to work

Anyway I’d just use a flanged spring seat grommet. Pref hard rubber or urethane. order/trim it to fit and slice it to match the spring seat. I guess the spring could still spin and push it out like mike said unless your suspension is like mine and only droops like .5" Lol
