Rear spring isolators?
Iwas wondering I would like to get new ones, what do i order them for? I have a 86 Z28 that I lowered and I would like to bring the rear up a bit, the stock ones are worn out. Thanks.
P.S I heard that they don't make the 3 rd gen ones now, so what car do i order them for?

4th Gen isolators
I did that with my '91 that I had lowered. The rear end sat to low for my tastes. It say exactly the same height as the front and didn't look like it had an aggressive stance to it. I swaped out the rear isolators with a new set from a 4th gen. I randomly picked a year and told the guy at the parts counter to give me some from a '98 TA. It turned out great. My rear end sits exactly 1" higher than the rear when measured at the fender lip (front 26"/rear 27").

I didn't think they made our year anymore either...
but:
so, that's why we figured you'd go with 4th gen ones...
but:
4th gen camaro isolators will raise 1 inch over stock 3rd gen camaro isolators
