Has anyone added the rubber spring stiffeners, that go between the coils of the spring. I seem to remember an old thread but could find it. Any thoughts?

I remember people doing it years ago too.

I know the GTO spring blockers were popular with the GP folks.

As long as you're not using those metal clamps to raise or lower your suspension, you're fine.

Do they improve handling? Are just adjust ride height?
