Funny you mention spring pads.

.completely forgot that I tried that with the Tein springs.

Only made a set for the front as the back was about right.

Used a poly composite that I cut into rings the same diameter as the spring and that could sit in the recess of the upper spring cup.

It did raise the front but not the same height as the depth of the ring I had made, never really understood why, in should have raised the static height up by 15mm but only raised it by about 5/6mm.

That aside I drove round the block and took them straight off, very sketchy noises.

I didn't cut a channel for the spring to seat into as I was kind of hoping that the compression of the spring alone would be enough that it wouldn't want to wander.

Sorry pal I don't mean to be a killjoy for ideas and I can't stand it when I read a thread where someone has an idea of something to try and then someone comes along and gives the line of

'been there done that so don't bother' etc, that's not my intention at all! Making them myself was probably a bad cheapskate way anyway, a nice dense grippy rubber compound similar to the bumpstops and with a grove/channel cut in it for the spring to seat into would probably work fine, be interesting to see it done.
