How to keep my springs quiet?

I am installing springs this weekend and need that rubber suround that people put on their springs.

Where can I get it in a hurry?

I'm in soCal.

Thanks!!!

If you mean the rubber spring seat insulator, it's available from the dealer.

If you mean the plastic spring inserts, those come on some springs like STI pinks. I am not aware of spring inserts being available separately. Try some thinwall rubber hose cut in half the long way and held on with adhesive. All you're trying to do is keep the coil clash noises down and preserve the spring coating. No spring inserts last forever but if you let the spring coating wear through, the spring will rust, which leads to spring failure. You'll only need to add material between the coils where the spring has a small pitch. These coils are meant to contact. The coils stack up in order to vary the spring rate.

Tein spring Silencers...

Try contacting an authorized TEIN dealer near you...they may have the spring silencers...bring your springs in, because I believe they have different sizes...I am using the ProDrive springs on my STI now and they came with the silencers...TEIN S-Techs also...my Espelir ASD Springs did not...
