Default Questions about Energy Suspension coil spring Islators

I have a couple of questions about these, you can find them here.

http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...2E6104%5FFront

What do they do?, and what exactly are they? Are they worth replacing?

I have a 98 dx, skunk2 slip on coilovers, and stock shocks. They are orginal with 210k.


I was looking at the full ES bushing kit, but there are some bushings that i dont want, or for example these, i have no clue if i need them or not.

Thanks guys.

I just used them when I rebuilt my suspension. The OEM coil spring isolators looked beat up and thats about it. They werent cracked or dry rotted but like I said they were a little out of shape and I had the Energy Suspension replacements and said why not? Actually because you asked this I am going to do a little research and see what I can find about coil spring isolators.

Alright so they are just there to prevent metal on metal contact IE: spring touching top hat. Well poly is a lot more durable than rubber so I guess I dont ever have to worry lol.

oh, thats more then i have found out. I searched for a while and couldnt come up with anything.

I was looking at the full kit, and thought i could save a couple bucks by not buying these, and the ball joint/tie rod boots.

Thank you.

Anyone? Do they really improve steering feel as ES says they do?
