Litlle help in the back springs

[v4NDALu]

Hello guys....

Can anyone tell me what does that litlle rubber in lower part of the back springs?

It's to eliminate noise or it has some kind of improvement on handling? Can we take that rubber off without having any kind of problems? ( I'm using -60mm lowering springs)

Cheers!

P.s. sorry for my bad english! :rasp:

Its just there to cushion the spring on the axle. It also helps to keep the spring there and not fall out.
