I had purchased (years ago) a set of heavier (but I believe 1" shorter) coils springs for my '69 convertible.
They improved the ride dramatically. (along with a fatter front sway bar).
I recall that the rubber pads at the top of the coil springs were just about disintegrated. I thought I'd buy replacements.
I see CJ pony parts has rubber replacements that look contoured to the spring shape. I see Scott Drake makes a polymer version. Any thoughts on a good direction?
Also, the LOWER spring saddles have some pads...I cannot find them. Any sources?
Lastly, I see a Scott Drake 1" poly spacer that (I think) would mount at the top, but i'm not 100% sure, I can't find any installaton details. Would these spacers replace the need for the top spring pads?
Any other upgrades while I have the shocks and springs out? (not sure if the spring saddles need any work typically.)
Thanks,
-Tom
