I have a set of Leda Coilovers and they came with a rubber/plastic cover/sheild covering the springs (like a condom! lol) I have got some new springs to go on, and it looks as if I cant re-use the old rubber..

Where can I get them from and what are they called? ;)

correct ;)

yes by all means protect the damper rod from crap, but I'd never want to cover up the springs etc as water will still get in and it will be trapped as opposed to being able to evaporate off.

and if your LEDA's are any good they will have a good wiper ring (oohhhh er) at the entrace to the damper body anyway
