Spring isolators on linear rate springs

[jdlingle]

Do those of you that have switched to linear rate springs run spring isolators still? If so from whom? I am replacing a bunch of suspension parts and am going to switch to linear rate springs as well from my stock ones.

Spring isolators are more for NVH and less for spring rate... however they do provide a "little" bit of spring rate, however I don't think you will ever notice them if they were gone... especially on a race car.

So I dont "need" them to keep the spring in place? This is a track only car as of now so if its noisy I dont mind.

Right about now Glenn makes a post about running "raw dog"

Then Mitch makes fun of Glenn for making comments like that while having multiple children

You dont need them at all (the isoltators that is)
