Rear Poly Spring Mount mod
For anyone interested that doesnt want to put the time into hacking up their stock springmounts in the rear to get the extra 1/2" of drop ive found the correct fitting energy suspension isolaters.
Part #
Energy Suspension 9.6120R Coil Spring Isolators
They are 5/8" thick so they will give you the 1/2" drop of cutting your stock ones. They fit right in perfectly above your stock rear springs and fit perfectly into the mount that holds them in place.
Using them in my car right now and am very happy i paid $20 bucks for them and didnt have to spend 2 hrs chopping at my oem ones.

Have you noticed any excessive bottoming out? I think the center portion of the oem spring mounts are bumpstops?
Sparco: 9-6108R/9-6108G is the same inside diameter, but slightly larger on the outside, its also .875" tall versus .625" for version Twizted listed. Not sure if it would fit the same.

I believe the bump stops are on the actual rear shock. The cone on the oem rear isolater seems to be pointless,,, if it was an actual bumpstop it would need something to "bump" into to stop travel but there is nothing there in the rear.

The whole keeping spring centered and you need the cone for this and that I think is not really accurate. The cone doesn't have anywhere to contact so its not a bumpstop, The od of the spring keeps it centered in the mount so its def not going anywhere.
Im on 6+ months and everything is still like the day I installed it and it still rides very nice.

Right... but people keep referring to the cone as a bumpstop when its not. The bumpstop is on the shaft of the rear shock itself. It keeps it from bottoming out.
