I've set up several different TR6 setups with different springs. I have 
never had a spring rattle problem except when running extremely short 
springs and even then you need to get really, really out of shape.

But a spring needing a rubber or stiffer buffer between the spring and the 
pans is totally not necessary.

You can correct something like 11 degrees of camber through the entire 
range on the stock brackets and you can probably dial in a lot more with 
the Goodparts adjustable brackets.

The "issue" is that some of the spring rubbers are stiffer than the 
original pieces, and putting in a stiffer spring than what you are taking 
out along with the stiffer spring rubbers, the effective length of the 
spring increases and you wind up with too much positive camber!
