      Spring cushions anyone?

      Just finishing up my ridetech suspension installation, on my 65 Impala. I am looking for some coil spring cushions for the rear coils. Just called ridetech and Energy suspension nothing, no help at all! My springs are 3 3/4 ID and 5" OD. I would like something about 1/2" thick. Thanks for any help!

      I thought this would have a simple answer, but I guess not. So what is the method used to tune ride height with coil springs?

      According to one of their forum posts, the only way to change ride height would be to use a totally different spring with a different spring rate.

      Here is the springrate calculator http://www.ridetech.com/info/spring-rate-calculator/

      Try 4th Gen F-body. They used rubber cushions on the rear springs.

      There are a few ways to make the ride height adjustable or at least change the ride height.

      You can get some ideas here.
