About 2 years ago i was tired of the tapping noise the suspension springs make as a result of lower springs and shock, i beleive its pretty much common knowledge that the top two coils tap against each other when dropping as low as 40 mm, noticing that toyota slide a tiny peice of rubber around the top coil, i thought wahay thats the way to go, so in all my great wisdom i went straight to the garage and cut up a metre of garden hose pipe into half inch lengths and began sliding a number of these onto the top coil of each spring with the help of a bit of oil and a pair of gripps, my mate kinda gave me this funny look
all at the same time, now, bearing in mind, ive use this site for many years and havnt heard of a better solution, im happy to tell you all, its all still good with no sign of the hose deteriating, so i can with hand on heart say it works well and is a long term solution, i am therefor doing this to my wifes tubby too! 
you northern puff! you couldnt let me have my 2 minutes of fame could you! Bodger over and out!
