Comptech Springs - Isolator Required?

I've gone through a bunch of old posts relating to the Comptech springs and have found that a few people have had problems with noise (squeaking). A majority of these issues actually related to sways but some were with the springs themselves. For those that did have problems, it sounds like installing an isolator took care of things. I'm not familiar with this term - sounds like it's just a piece of plastic or rubber that fits around the first few coils of the spring.

My question is whether these come with the Comptech springs or whether you have to order them separately? If so, where would you get a set?

Rear yes front no
They should be on the CT springs already when you buy them.

For two years I fought with old bed spring sounds from my front left strut, yet I couldn't figure it out because the sound would come and go with the weather or whatever. Finally got mad enough to take it all apart and I did put an isolater at the lower end, upper already had one. Sound gone.

I purchased additional isolators for both the front and rear.

No problem with squeaking from my Comptech springs.

I believe there is insulator on the rear only, and it should come with it.
