Default rubber rings above or below my coilsprings??

I have an 89 hatch. I acquired a set of neuspeed sport springs and I want to use them. They will drop the car 1.75" in the rear and 1.5" in the front. That is too much for me. I've seen these rubber rings that kinda make a higher "seat" coil springs before. Does anyone know where I can get a .5" or .75" ring? What are those things called????

Rubber "spring spacers". You can also buy / make them in other materials, such as metal or plastic (delrin).

You mean like this, right?


Just, um, have fun searching. "Spring rubbers" are different, and thread into the coils to change the spring rate without changing ride height, and making searching difficult.
