Coil Spring Isolators

[Gordon6586]

I bought a set of Tubular Control Arms from Pro Header (part #PS476) for my 1970 Nova base. These didn't come with coil isolators. The coil pocket has a groove where the coil spring is supposed to set, buy I can't find a set of isolators to fit. The control arm pocket measures 5 3/8" diameter and 3" from outside shock mount nut to outside the other shock mount nut. The coils I'm using measure 3 9/16 ID and 5 1/8 OD. Anyone got any ideas if someone makes isolators that fit the grooved coil spring pocket?

why would you use them in the front, the only place I have seen them is in the back on the top of the spring on cars such as Chevelle/GTO etc.

Some of the options of control arms came with front isolators to avoid metal on metal contact with the coil and control arm. I'm honestly not sure if the front coils get them but I thought it was a good idea to have them to avoid metal on metal contact

I see arms from Global West Suspension come with them installed. Have you checked with Pro Header? Have you looked at sites like www.summitracing.com and www.jegs.com

All I've seen are either universal kits from jegs and summit, and the pictures show they are built for flat coil pockets.. I'm gonna try calling energy suspension in the morning and see where that goes..
