Default What exactly does this do?





Coil Spring Isolators? I take it that they isolate the spring from it's seat with some Urethane, but what does this do for handling/performance/camber?

Nothing for camber

All it really does is cushion the spring against the top hat, and stop some clanging. Your springs SHOULD always have tension against the top hat anyways, but with most cheap coilover sleeves, you get lots of slop, and these help with the spring slop on compression
