I do not use rubber. Particularly not in the spring.

Back on track: I guess You are referring to rubber inserts, to increase the height of the car. Do not use it. If You need to use it, Your springs are tired or the rideheight is incorrectly adjusted.

For replacement, 200 dollars will get You a complete set of Eibachs.

Or did You mean something else ?

Spring rubbers are meant for stiffing up the springs, not raising height.

I used them early in my DE driving, with stock springs and shocks. They indeed stiffened the springs enough that the reduction in body roll during moderately hard cornering was significant. I installed Eibach with externally adjustable Koni's, and have not used them since. Good "interim" method, in my opinion.
