CSB Series (Set of 2) | Shore 55±5 HA

Per the instruction for measuring the springs I ordered product A for coil springs. I installed them on the front suspension of a 2017, Acura MDX. I have to admit, installing each side took about an hour and a half. It took lots of soap and elbow grease. Then for the test drive, the car front is a little stiffer. The front ride height changed by about 1/4" higher. Not much. I was not looking to raise the ride height. I wanted to reduce the dip in the front. I drive 7 miles on a dirt road to a vacation house. I will update this post after driving that road and report if these spring dampeners fix the compression of the front suspension.June 10, 2022:These spacers made the ride more firm and substantially reduced the front-end dive. I could increase my speed a bit without the concern of bottoming out. The ride was also much less bouncy. The MDX also handles turns much better, improving overall handling.12-10-22After 7 months, I decided these did their job but the ride was just too stiff. I swapped out the CSB C to B. the B size fits perfectly in the spring at normal ride height. After going for a 3-mile test drive the B spacer removed the harsh ride over street bumps. Hopefully, they will reduce the front dive going through dips. In the pictures I posted, the first two is the CSB C installed new. The next two are after 7 months. The last two are the CSB B spacer first without vehicle weight and second with vehicle weight.

I bought these spring buffers (from Ebay) because my 2002 Honda CR-V had the infamous saggy rear springs. I wasn't sure which option I needed so I sent them a message on their website, they responded within hours that the best option for my springs was size B.After ordering, the product arrived almost a whole week before it was due to arrive, which was a nice surprise. The springs come with zip ties to hold them in place (4 was nice, but I think that 4 per spring would be better) but that's it; no installation instructions. Fortunately you can find installation instructions on their website.The springs are very difficult to install, which I am hoping means they will stay put. be prepared to use a lot of lubrication and muscle to get them in place. If they are too big in diameter for your coils you can resize them easily; the material is very easy to cut and drill.After installation, I measured exactly 1 inch of lift compared to before. This puts the car's rear end back up to the height it was when the springs were new. I haven't noticed the handling being any stiffer, which is fortunate, and while I can't vouch for it's long-term durability, (yet) I do know that they are a US-based company, with a 1 year warranty on their product, and prompt customer service.Especially since the only other US-based company making this type of spring buffer charges 5 times as much for the same product, I am VERY happy with my purchase and hope it will serve me well for a long time.

Perfect for my car, for the front .i got the correct size it worked great! I ordered size CSB (A )

I love the clear specifications of sizes. I got the A for the front and A+ for the rear of my 2000 Subaru Forester. After I got the first one in, the other three were easy. I'll probably buy again for the rear of my 2000 Honda Insight.

Not disappointed and easy to install.

These worked very well for my 12 Dodge Journey! Strut's we're soft and a little floppy feeling when I hit even small bumps.Now I've gained about 1.75" rise in the front end which has help with acceleration. It stiffened up the front end so it's not as soft and floppy feeling. And the steering around corners as improved as well. Overall I'm very pleased.Install took about 2hrs (one per side). If you measure correct it should be a very snug fit which mine was. Took some coaxing and a lot of WD-40 but we got her done.Well see how they do over time. So far totally worth the money and effort to get them in.

Looked at another popular vendor in this category, but just can't justify $150 per set for their product. This is my 2nd set of RubberShox. Can't speak to longevity (haven't had them on long enough), but they do help when towing. Unladen ride height at the rear changed by 0.5 inches, with 320 lbs of weight at the ball, my 2021 Highlander rode 0.25 inches higher than it previously did without the RubberShox installed. There's a very slight change in damping/rebound when unloaded, but most likely won't even feel it. Fairly easy to install. Does require tire removal to access the coil spring safely. We'll see how they hold up to use.

Used soapy water and a few tools to work them into the coils. Had to trim off a few inches so they didn't overlap. I did remove every wheel to gain access. I recommend removing your wheel to get the helper spring installed. I also added some very large cable ties to make sure nothing moved around. It gave a nice lift to my Honda Fit and it handles much much better! The bumps on the road are smoother now as well. Good product, but make sure you measure carefully! Also, don't waste your money on those crappy blocks as an option. They are junk. Just get the coil spring buffers.

The B class fits my Prius C, it didn’t add any height and the ride is still comfortable, and the rear where I installed it feels solid on the turns.

I bought these buffers for my 2018 Mazda CX-5 front and back coil springs. My wife and I were used to drive German cars and enjoyed the handling during turn. I love the look inside out of my CX-5, but I really cannot appreciate the handling especially on the mountain road. I saw these buffer on Amazon and want to give them a try since they are not expensive at all.The installations are quite simple and easy. However, it did require to lift the car to install. Before buying the buffer, I lifted the car to measure edge-to-edge for both front and back coil spring. The best thing is, their website have detail measurement and installation guide. After lifted the car, I just slide the buffer from bottom of the coil spring (larger edge-to-edge space)all the way to the top. At my first tried, it was hard for me to slide the buffer into the spring. I emailed manufacturer and wondered if I got the wrong size buffers. I got emailed back second day and they suggest sprayed WD-40 on buffers and springs before installation. It only took me 30 minutes to install all 4 buffers to front and back coil springs of my SUV. They should put this suggestion into their installation guide.After driving my CX-5 for next 3 weeks, I am totally satisfied with these tiny cheap buffers. I was so happy for the two mountain trips I had, they made the turn so stable and smooth even with my wife and two teenage kids inside the car and they don't feel dizzy like before. These buffers are also doing very good in absorbing the road bump. I love these buffers!Draw backAlthough these buffers are designed as universal fit, but it is not quite tight fit to different type of the coil spring. The back of my CX-5 is not as tight as the front ones . If you want to buy these buffers, you should make sure the measurement is correct and pick the one as close to your measurement as possible. One little thing, I would like my CX-5 even stiffer. I like the stiffer driving behavior even it will scarify the comfort of absorbing road bump.

Our 2002 Acura MDX front struts were replaced at 116K with decent Monroe aftermarket parts. The OEM springs were reused. Around 135K, the struts started to feel softer with more lean in turns and excessive diving during braking. It was easy to bottom out the front end over easy bumps. The strut gas shocks are still fine it's just that the springs have aged so there's a lot more front end motion that doesn't inspire confidence in normal handling. At 153K, I replaced the rear shocks since they were original but this did not make a major improvement in overall handling.I considered replacing the front struts and springs with new parts but there's no guarantee that the new springs would provide a stiffer ride. I'm not excited about spending $600 or more to replace struts only to get minor improvement. After a bit of research, I discovered that RubberShox appeared to be a simple solution worth trying to restore a higher spring rate. The MDX coil gap (vehicle lifted) measures 1.90-2.00 inches so I chose the DuraTPE-A size that has an H2 of 1.85. According to RubberShox and other reviews, H2 should match your coil spacing for optimum performance but the spacers can be very difficult to install when these dimensions are close to each other (do NOT choose H2 greater than your coil spacing since it will be virtually impossible to install). As it turns out, I had no trouble installing the A-size and they were a perfect fit. Yes, it took some effort and WD-40 but if you follow the instructions and work by slowly feeding the spacer into the coil, keeping the upper groove fully engaged and leaving the lower groove to be slowly "popped" over the coil as you go, then it works great. I did not trim the spacer in any way but I did use a wooden handle to provide additional leverage to get the lower spacer groove to "pop" over the coil at various points. Once done, this RubberShox spacer is perfect fit as you can see in the photos. I slowly worked the spacers up towards the top of the strut so that they would be somewhat hidden in the strut tower cavity. The overall lift in the front end is about half an inch and looks like the original OEM height now.The improvement in ride and handling is like having a whole new vehicle! You would think that the ride would be stiff but it's not --bumps are smoother and the chassis feels controlled once again. No more excessive leaning in corners and nose dive during braking is minimal. I would say the car handles as good as or better than when new. Such a simple and economical fix! Try this solution if your springs feel soft or worn out, it's a great product.

Gives my 2019 JGC a little boost but not obvious. Very little change in ride. I used silicone lube spray to install (works much better than soapy water). I went with D in front and B+ in rear (but received B, that's why I subtracted a star). I will probably add another set later... Hopefully I get what I order.Update: added 2nd set (D front, B+ rear) and again received B instead of B+. Again, the change in ride height isnt obvious (0.125") and the change in ride and handling is slightly better, but not dramatic. I like the results, so i won't reduce the rating this time for not receiving the correct size. Just BEWARE if you order B+.

I installed the A+A on a 2013 Chevrolet Impala LS to solve the droopy rear problem you see on all of them. When you first install them, they do increase the ride height. However, on the first trip down a rough road, the RubberShox squeezes out. Reinstalling the Rubbershox with extra zip ties just resulted in the same outcome. In fact, the zip ties just break. It really does not compress, it buckles under the load. To exasperate the problem with the design is that the material takes a set as shown in the last photo. These were on the vehicle for 2 months. What I found it that this only gives you a temporary feel good.

Installed size B in the rear of a Subaru Outback. I had to cut off 2-3 inches because they were too long for the rear. Otherwise I think it is the best size.
The first one took me 20 minutes to install, but the second one was just 5 minutes - after you got the hang of it. After 50 miles test drive it is still about an inch lift. Handling is good, not sure if much better than before but for sure not worse.
Mostly bought it to prevent the sagging when loaded for a camping trip - that part I have not tested yet. Will update in a few weeks.

It would be great if there were cut-off markers on the shock absorbers based on D1 - without it I had to make three cuts until it was finally short enough.

Quedo perfecto para Mazda CX5 2022

Nice i put an A and a C on a Suzuki Vitara and it lifted like 2" also the suspension got smoother, i recommend this product!!

I installed the Type "A" on my 2005 Honda Odyssey (Front).Big difference in ride. I go over the drive approach, humps with ease. Cornering is easier too because it lessens the "dip".I will be purchasing another set for the rear. I believe I need Type "A" for the rear.This is money well spent, New coilovers are way more expensive. This rubbershox will prolong the life of your suspension.I cleaned my springs with soap and water to make sure there are no sharp or hard debris. Then I sprayed WD40 on both springs and rubbershox.Easy installation.

Fit the spring like a glove. Raised the Prius up a bit over a half of inch. Very happy

Cumplió totalmente lo as espectativas, muy útil y fácil de instalar.
