do coil springs come with insulators?

[1990LTD]

or do you need to buy 'em separate?

[Lincolnmania]

they dont come with, you need to get them seperate

poly coil spring insulators come with the energy suspension front bushing sets btw

cool...just doing rear springs for now i think. it's my birthday next week and i was told i needed to pick a present. might order the cc819s.


it might ride funny with all new shocks, new rear coils, and original coils up front. what do you think?

I'd think you'll still be VERY happy. I like the way cargos flatten out the handling a bit.

Fixed that. The ES insulators looked to me to add probably 3/4" of height to my front springs. I'm actually considering removing them, but the rear sits high enough with the wagon springs that it at least looks OK for now.

No it won't. And front springs are to annoying to change anyways.
My 91 with new shocks all around and cargo coils out back rode fine. And I even reused the old insulators.

Not that it's any of my business, but what's the motivation for buying new springs?

GASP!

I did too, I forgot to buy them and already had a shock cut.

thanks!! shipping on them is 60 bucks for some damn reason, and it even ships from the same location as the CC819s!

rear end is sagging. if i'm going to spend money on new springs i'm going to get something that gives me a bit more than stock ride height.

I had good results (so far) with cleaning the original spring isolators from my car and conditioning them with Wurth rubber care. I also wrapped the bottoms of my rear springs with approx 6" of high-temp silicone lined heater hose. I put a very light coat of brake lube on the bottom coil, and the proper size hose slid right on by hand. It also sits very nicely on the spring perch after it settles in for a few hours. This way, the rear seemed noticeably quieter, while affecting ride height by barely 1/8". I just figured it's a cheap and readily available option.

for some reason, ordering CC819s and insulators, plus a PCV valve grommet costs MORE than ordering CC819s in one order and the insulators/grommet in another. weird canadiadia shipping.

either way, I have some rear variable rate cargo coils on their way to me. happy birthday to me.
