Default Suspension question

Ever since I installed my Eibach Sportline springs, it hasn't been exactly level

Meaurements: Drivers side:14.5" front, 15" back, passenger: 15" front, 14.5" rear.

Exactly oppsite.

The springs have had ample time to settle, and I used new isolators in the rear.

My question is, to level both back sides, can I remove one of the isolators? I honestly don't see any harm in this, but I could be way wrong.

Thanks for any help in advanced.

I know running none is possible, but just removing one is my question. And I do a lot of that too lol

Isolators affect your handling a little, so removing some might make make a difference--but might not.

I had the same problem, I just lowered mine. Fronts are perfect, rear is 1/2" off almost.

Since isolators cushion small vibes, I'm just gonna trim one of the springs and call it a day.

'Course Cobra springs are linear and GT's aren't--yeah just remove an isolator.
