Rear springs, Rubber or no rubber

Hey guys i just lowered my car with the pro kit, I find the back isnt sitting low enough, i did put the back rubbers on the top of the springs in, Can i take those out? If i do will the car bottom out all the time? Also, if i take them out, when i jack the car up, will the springs always fall out? How much of a different will it actually make? Thanks, Greg

I left them out on my car when i installed my shocks but i`m still on stock springs. You will need to put some type of hose on the 1st round of the spring just make sure its heavy duty ,I used hydraulic hose. I haven`t had any problems with bottoming out or noise.

It lowered the car a pretty good bit but not so much that i am worried about bottoming out or tire rub. I didn`t have to realign anything either

BUt now everytime you jack your car up, so your springs fall outta the little pocket at all?

Nope, the shock won't let them drop that far-that's why you can't get the springs out without taking off the bottom of the shock.
