Right my rear end is starting to piss me off

found inside the rubber gormit bit in the below picture



its a bilstein b10 kit ive had...without the spacer there the shocks stand rubber against the metal so have no torque setting possible and the rear springs have ended up looking like they are squished (compressed) all the time...will get a picture lately?

well my idea is to buy new spacers and cut em down to size

anyone got this kit or pics of other rear suspension of ANY sort...please post up so i can have a looksie...need it sorted as also exhaust vs the rear beam

heres pic of car...kinda showing that its lower than 40mm at the rear cause of this i guess



its abit lower than this now too

the isnt one of them tube spacer things that came on the standard suspension...so the shock is held in by a nyloc nut with a rubber washer either side of the body...so the isnt a firm connection almost...so the is movement there...the wierd thing is that the springs are so compressed without any weight on them i need to get a picture to explain but the top 3 rings on the coil spring as all touching together??? which doesnt seem anywhere near right to me???

any pictures from the side of the car of a 40mm coil spring wud help...just a LITTLE bit of a storm hear at the moment so cant get out yet

just use the GM mounts then.

i find all aftermarket kits knock slightly, due to the top rubbers.

the experience you are having is completely normal. the coils are designed to sit that way and the rubbers supplied with the kit are 100% correct.

what is the reason for you wanting to change them ?
