Default Suspension Problem, help.

Ok, I have a 1990 crx that I just installed suspension on. I put kyb agx's with H&R Race springs on my car. On the front the springs are to loose in the top mount without the rubber thing (no idea what it's called) but the spring won't fit if I leave the rubber thing on. I finally got them to fit but that's by lowering the car on them so it forced them in. My question is where can I get some aftermarket rubber things(name please?) that will work?

Also, when I take hard right turns at slow speeds I get a noise coming from the front left of my car that sounds exactly like a spring. What is causing this? Appreciate any commens, thanks.

there is no after market for those parts. i had to buy them brand new from the dealer. they don't fit well because they have the indentations of the old springs. also make sure you are using the front ones, don't mix them up with the rear ones. i think they are different part numbers for the front and rear. to ease installations i greased the rubber with white grease, also makes them quiet.

I have the right ones on they just don't fit that well due to the larger springs. Anyhow, anybody know why I am hearing a "spring noise?"

what do you mean larger springs? they should be smaller springs especially the race ones. it sounds like somethings not right and i would recommend not driving it until you figure out whats wrong with it.

The h&r race springs are a little larger in diameter. I keep hearing a sound when I take hard right turns at slow speeds that sounds like a spring. It only does it when turning right. Here is what they look like....
