I recently replaced my OEM spring with Eibach Pro-Kits and I'm wondering where I can get a set of rear coil spring isolator pads. They're the rubber/foam pads that sit between the shock and spring on both ends. Or even better if you can suggest a way to fix the god-awful clunking that the rear (and sometimes front) springs make when I go over moderate bumps at low speeds. Thanks in advance!

Your local automotive parts store should have em. A lot cheaper than from Honda.

Well I tried Napa and they are non-existent on the net, so I guess I'll try some other stores...

i have a set, they came with my ground control suspention the springs are made by eibach and you have your choice of rubber o rings or a rubber sleeve that i could not figure out how to use. anyway, if you call ground control (at 530 677 8600) and tell them you have a ground control set they will send you the isolaters for just shipping. (go with the o-rings shipping is $5 and you get all 4 corners two o-rings each corner) I ended up not using any of it, they (ground control and the honda stealorship) said you dont need them but you'll be noisey if you dont use them. hope I could help.

I'll try that. I definitely know that they are noisy without them. The spring perch ones on my car are worn through or compacted. I'm going to do the 500 mile re-torquing (sp?) tonight and see if it helps any. Try to imagine these sounds:

1. A metal cylinder sliding back and forth on a long bolt.
2. The threads on the top of the shock rubbing back and forth in the mounting holes.
3. The upper control arm bashing into the fender.

Even though those scenarios are not what is happening they are similar to what it sounds like.
