Now WTF?
Didnt notice this before - trying to figure out what's going on on my rear setup. They are Koni sports, GC tubes, and Eibach 300# springs - on track only. Anyone else get spring to tube rub?

Mine are doing the same thing as well, but also not nearly as bad. Koni Race/GC/Eibach Springs.
I could use a set of helper springs since the front shocks can unload at full extension. Then again I believe I saw the same wear on the rear adjuster tubes and the rears do not unload at full extension. The rubber spring retainers on all of the tophats are fine.

Well, after having some time to inspect, it's quite clear what's going on on the pass rear. However, my camera sucks so excuse the clarity - but it's obvious the spring is not centered on the rubber isolator at the top. I'll have to pull the assembly out and try to 'mold' the isolator where the spring smashed it - or get a new one. Man - wonder how long that's been going on? I had better do more detailed inspection from now on.

He might want to get these too:

The isolators are higher-density and wider than the Ground Control isolators, making them a better fit for any setup that uses NB mounts.
