Default Installing Eibach Pro Kit today?

I took out the rear springs and in the middle of the spring is some king of rubber cylinder looking thing, question is what is this things function and do I tranfer this over to the new springs?

I got such mixed responses on this. I posted the same question on another forum I belong to and most said to ditch them, that it was the factory's way of making the springs progressive. I ended up not re-installing them. Mainly because I installed the first spring and realized I forgot to put it in and really didn't feel like taking the spring back out LOL. In any case the car drives awesome with the new spring kit, just wish it lowered the front a bit more.

Cool, yeah I put in a brand new set of Prothane polyurethane isolators on the top and bottom of the springs when I did the install.

The Eibach Sportlines lower the front more for that raked stance. I think my Prokit is worn, because my front sits lower than the back unless theres something in the trunk
