Default Rear monospring rubber mount question

After removing my rear spring I found that the rubber pad at the center of the spring is pretty much gone. Its a VBP 360 spring. I can't find this part on their website or anyplace else.

Is it available separately or is it an integral part of the spring assembly?

They are called Rear Isolators and are part # P1-403.

How old is the spring. Mine after a year also started to deform. VB&P sent me a new one at no charge.

Material/supplier problem??? Mine has been there since '95, still in good shape.....wondering about moving it below the spring so to lower the car....but the roads are really crap, so maybe I don't want to.....

I don't know the age of the spring. It was on the car when I got it. I don't think its that old as the stickers are still on it.
