Mine haven't moved a bit in over 7 years now.

Get those parts + alignment after install and you'll be good. Again, this is also a good opportunity to get rid of the stock LCA's. You'll also want new shocks and struts, as the stock ones will be a little bit overcompressed and as a result ride quality will suffer a little. Still haven't done mine yet but it's coming soon along with a couple other things that are way overdue.
I appreciate all of your input. What are LCA's? Thanks, Ed,

Hey my man LCA's are Lower Control Arms. They reduce wheel hop and help in traction.

Would you recommend taking out the spring isolators? And if so, would you need to replace the isolators with anything else? Thanks, Ed.

If you drop like this, be prepared for the challenges of driving a lowered car such as scraping the midpipe on
speed bumps (gotta hit them at an angle), scraping the front end on steep driveway entrances (even ones that don't seem all that steep) and hitting the bottom of the front bumper on parking blocks or walkway curbs when you head too far into a parking spot. Definitely a learning curve here.
Would you recommend removing the spring isolators and if so, what would you replace them with?
