PICS inside Steeda springs no isos and 1" wheel spacer
So the before pictures are really older ones from this summer. The new pics don't have my new tail lights in them because I haven't installed them yet. But some people were wanting to see before and after differences from removing the isos. I removed all of the front and rear ones and have noticed no noise at all but it does feel nice and firm now 
I also installed some 1" wheel spacers. Ignore the paint damage. I refuse to fix it till next fall when I am back in the lower 48 and can get decent rates on paint work! Also these are the Steeda Sport line of springs. Also the car is dirty. Been in my garage for a few weeks and I am waiting to order the no rinse car wash since it's 15 degrees out and my garage has no drain lol. Suprisingly there is no snow on the ground as it's "unseasonably warm" here in Alaska It's normally 20 below zero or colder right now with about 2 feet of snow!

Also note the car is leaning because of the small ditch it's parked on. It's actually slightly lower than that when level. The difference is pretty damn noticeable in person. Just wish I had of left the isos out to begin with!

i can DEFINITELY see a difference.. it looks as though the front dropped at least .5"... the rear looks like it dropped .5" max.... but the stance is 100x better now... that little bit seriously does make a difference..

Crazy question, but do you have any pics of what the stock Isos looked like after you took them out?? And did you take off the rubber piece that wraps around each end coil of the spring itself as well as the top and bottom isolators??

LOL they were taken here on base. And don't be fooled. It's normally under at least 2 feet of snow at this time of year! We have had some snow so far but it's only been down to about 12 or so degrees at night. As far as the install guide I followed the same write up I used to install my springs. Goto Mustangworld.com and click howtos. They forgot to mention when taking apart the front suspension you must disconnect the sway bar endlink at the top before you lower the jack. It's so easy to do this I did it alone in my garage heh. The front springs have a rubber cup type iso and one around the coil and the backs have 2 cup styles basically. I took every rubber isolator out.
