Post F-Sport spring insulator/rubber question

Hi everyone,

I just went today and got myself the f-sport springs for my '11 is250 awd. and when i got there at the lexus parts department, they told me to get the insulators(or rubber that goes around the spring) and they told me I would need 5 of them, so now my question is where does these insulator go? I've read a few thread, and people say to put on the 2nd and 4th spring, alright cool BUT where does the last one go?? o_O it doesnt' make sense to me, and im a newbie at these stuffs xD Will I need a few more of them? And does the front need some as well?
Thanks!

ben voyons, il y en a 4 au total et ce n'est pas nécessaire de les changer à moins que les anciens soient rendu trop usé mais bon... ton thread date de l'an passé alors j'imagine que c'est régler depuis lol

No, we were talking about the OEM rubber that come stock on the IS 2nd gen.
When we buy the F-Sport springs the dealer suggest to change them at the same time. But they are already on the car and normally the IS are not old enought to need to change that part.

Do the Tein rubber really make a difference ? I also have the F-Sport springs, they are not uncomfortable even if they are not as comfortable as the OEM springs but the noise is sometime annoying and... no need to mention that the street in Montréal are not as good as USA.
