With my '94 and '89, the rubber isolators went between the spring and
the frame. There was nothing between the spring and the lower control
arm. In my area, I had to get the rubber spring isolators from the
dealer. NAPA didn't even have them.
Spindles are the right way to do it, IMO. If I had it to do all over, I
would have bought the spindles. The lowering springs are too stiff for
the KYBs to control so it can get bouncy. I went with springs to lower
the front end because I got them as part of a swap for some other parts
and were what I had at the time I was doing ball joints. Heck, if I
ever get around to adding the de-arched leafs gathering dust in my
garage to the already shackled-and-hangered rear, then I might get those
spindles as well.
Let us know how they work out.

Subject: DML: Front spring questions
I am going to take apart the front suspension in a few weeks. I am
ordering all those
Moog parts that I put on the list. Plus I am goin to find the 2" drop
spindles from
Western Chassis. And I got KYB gas-a-just shocks on order from
rockauto.com
Question is:
Between spring and frame
- or-
Between spring and lower control arm....
is there a rubber ring or cushion? or is the spring just against the
metal in both
locations.
Thanks!!
