Do you have to install the spring isolators when doing lowering springs? I have the FRPP C springs but want my car dropped as much as possible with these springs. Will I run into any problems?

free up cuz id like to know also i just bought h&r super sport springs and steeda caster camber plates is there anything else id need?

 

Anyone??? I want to install thease biotches tonight and need advice. How much lower will my car be W/O the isolators?

 

without the stock rubber isolators I would say you gain an extra 1/8 inch which isn't much...Not a huge difference but if you are tryiing to go low then take them out. Those don't do much anyways. I bought some sportlines with some polyurethane spring isolators. Sportlines are supposed to drop 2 inch, the isolators took about 1/4 inch (they are thicker and stronger than the stock ones)...So I am at about 1.75 inch drop..Just for reference so you know what you will be looking for...

 

if you take them out then your springs are going to squeek.

 

without spring isolators you will increase the chance of spring walk....which means springs can pop out,and break shocks struts...severe damage

 

so especially with sportlines u should use the isolators? would u suggest using the same stock ones or going with some new ones.. from like stangsusp.

 

depends if they cracked or not...i think a new set for mine was 58 bucks front to back...might be cheaper...it was awhile ago..

 

I left the lower isolators out on the front...but I plan to switch to coilovers in a month or so.

 

I think they look better left out on the front.... lowers the front an extra quarter inch i think.. I think it gives a better stance.. its noticable
