Replacing the rear springs on my 94 945 with Scan Tech HD springs from FCP. The spacer (rubber part that sits on top of spring) does not want to fit into the larger diameter coil. I think that I can get it to fit by doing some careful cutting and shaping of the spacer so that it fits snug and will allow the spring anchor (cup shaped metal washer that bolts under the top of the spring to hold it in place. Will that hurt, so long as the assembly bolts up, and the spring sits in the bottom rubber spacer? Is the "stop" (piece of the spacer that butts against the end of the coil) necessary?
Thanks!
