tharrold 10 Report post Posted March 22, 2021 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasEd 188 Report post Posted March 22, 2021 Call John at OpenTracker https://opentrackerracing.com/ You might want to go with roller spring perches for the lower control arms and they come with the new pads. I think it makes a big difference. Also if you have not already done it do the upper control arm drop. (Shelby Drop) John supplied 1/4" Poly spring cushions for mine. Here is a link to my build thread starting at the suspension: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
