Default Coil spring rubber spacer

I was watching a video of a car show from HK. They said they have these rubber spacer things that go between the coils to increase spring rate, without having the need of lowering. I am not sure if this is a new technology, but I haven't seen something like that here. Do you guys know what I am talking about? It would be great if we can get something like that, since I am too cheap to get coilovers to lower my ride. =)

hahahaha that's some funny shiet. I used to run these on my Scirocco.
The problem is they will also raise your car but they do increase your spring rate. I cut my springs and ran these until I found a Scirocco at the junkyard with a full ST setup. I got the springs and swaybars for 100 bucks. I was a happy camper. I used to stop by the junkyard once a week hehehe that's how I stayed outa trouble..

They raise the car? lol. Well, they still be good for temp use at the track. Take them out after you come back. I wonder which size would work in our cars.

Not much room in our cars.
The Scirocco has huge springs as far as diameter.
