Default STOCK ITR springs: What are the rubber sleevings on the rear suspension springs for???
What is the purpose of this rubber?

I noticed that there are rubber sleeves on part on the rear suspension springs, why? Is it removable and is it wise to remove it? Do only ITR springs have this rubber and civic/integra GS/R springs dont have this rubber?

I think it is there to eliminate noise. Leave it on.

Yeah, it's not like it weighs 1 or 2 lbs each. Not worth removing.

I think its on all, its to keep the springs from squeaking.
