I just recently picked up some 30mm Man-A-Fre coil spring spacers. Quick question regarding the install. Does the rubber pad that currently rests on top of the stock spring go on top of the spacer or does it remain on top of the spring? I could not find this info in search but read that it is advisable to secure the spacer to the spring with electrical tape to keep it snug during re-install. So that made me think that the rubber pad goes on top of the spacer but I am not sure. Thank you.
 
It sits on top. The bottom of the spring has a groove so the spring sits into a cradle. You'll see it when you take it off. The top of the spring is completely flat. Not a bad suggestion to use tape, but the spring has constant pressure on the spacer, even at full articulation.
 
Right. The spacer goes on top of the spring but I am wondering about the rubber pad that is currently on top of the spring? Leave it off? Put it on top of the spacer? Or on top of the spring? The 2nd post left it off with no problems yet. Thank you.
 
I left mine off, too, as the O.D. of the rubber washer was larger than the I.D. of the groove in the bottom of the spacer where the top of the spring sits.
