2 questions, forgive me for sounding dumb.

1. your feeding the spring into the hose, end of the coil goes into the hole of the hose, with lots of lube. correct?

2. does this affect the way the spring functions during compression, make noise etc?

Thanks for your time and reply.
Bill

yes that is correct. as far as compression goes, the length of the spring is unchanged, you are just changing where it comes in contact with the body. they make no more noise then when i had the isolators in.

I was searching like a mofo the other day to find the right size hose for this and there's a damn sticky at the top. How did I miss this?

So are we saying the Bilstein HD/SLPs are or are not OK to run with a lowering spring? Thanks

I took out the rear isolators 30K miles ago and never heard ANY strange metal to metal noise. Need for hose is possibly a myth.

I am going to do this hose mod with V6 springs and I have ET streets 295/50 R16 . . . 28" tire.
Do you think that I will be rubbing with the hose mod?
