i tried removing it from the oem spring and basically it was dried + brittle and just fell apart when i tried to remove it....then i completely forgot about it and just installed both springs without it. How important is this piece? Cause i really don't want to uninstall everything and put it back on

 

You'll be just fine without it. No worries bro.

 

Cool, I figured it's one of those nice to have but not necessary items

I don't remember any of the hondas i worked on back in the days having this rubber piece

 

yea well its a honda...lol most cars have them now but I have my Eibach's without them for almost a year and no problem

 

ya no problems, couldn't really notice the difference with them on or off except a difference in ride height by I think a half inch or so.
